Description:
ALMOST NEVER SEEN .38 SINGLE ACTION "MEXICAN MODEL" (MODEL 1880), 5" BARREL, #16XXX. This example has a deep aged brown patina overall, yet shows no abuse or pitting. There is still some blue in the protected area ahead of the cylinder, around the recoil shields and between the barrel and top rib. Numbers match. Has the flat sided hammer, no half cock and correct spur trigger associated with this model. The grips have been replaced with perfectly fitting fancy decorative metal panels that have a very Mexican/Spanish look to them- often called Wexell & Degress grips, as this was a big company in Mexico that purchased firearms and often put this type grips on them. There is also a lanyard swivel in the butt that goes through the middle of the serial number, however the visible first and last numbers match the rest of the numbers on the barrel, latch and cylinder. The aged patina on the spur trigger assembly perfectly matches the frame patina/coloring/ageing of the metal. Exc. mech and bore is bright and excellent. The top of the barrel has the correct "MODEL 91" marking as well as the usual S&W address and patents. These are nearly impossible to find as most were shipped out of the country.
