Description:
Antique SMITH & WESSON 3rd Model .38 Cal. DOUBLE ACTION Top Break Revolver
Smith & Wesson’s Double Action Concealed Carry
Here we present an antique 3rd Model Smith & Wesson .38 S&W Double Action Revolver, made circa 1890 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Smith & Wesson Third Models were produced from 1884 to 1895 with a total production of 203,700 revolvers. In the Third Model .38, the location of the latch notch of the rear sear was changed to give a lighter trigger pull when the weapon was used single action. Although this required a corresponding change of the full-cock notch on the hammer, the two models (2nd and 3rd) are hard to identify except by reference to the serial numbers. Third Model serial numbers begin with 119,001 and run to 322,700. Here is a great example of a revolver that would have been carried in the years prior to the turn of the century. And, with gangsters and career criminals running rampant, this example would have been the “pocket advantage” a person needed.
The overall condition is good. Strong action (at some point in time, cosmoline has been applied to the ejector rod causing a slow retraction). Bright bore. Both grips are in very good shape with minimal handling wear. Numbers match and the markings are clear. This example has been nicely refinished. Here is a great example of a revolver that would have been carried in the years prior to the turn of the century!
