Description:
EARLY 1902 FIRST CHANGE, .38 SPECIAL MILITARY AND POLICE REVOLVER WITH 6 1/2" BARREL, #54XXX, ONLY MADE 1903-1904.  This is a fine blue example with excellent hard rubber grips on the standard round grip frame used on this early M&P model. Serial numbers match on the frame, cylinder and barrel. All excellent markings including the early barrel caliber marking of ".38 S&W SPECIAL" over "AND U.S. SERVICE CTG'S."  Interestingly, this last barrel marking refers to the .38 Long Colt cartridge which was the official revolver cartridge of the military at that time! Fine high polish blue showing normal holster wear along the barrel sides, edges of the cylinder and frame and thinning grip strap blue. Fine case colors on the hammer and trigger, tight action, exc. bright bore and unaltered front sight. These really early M&Ps that are now nearly 120 years old don't turn up often, and when they are encountered are usually in pretty hard used condition.
