SMITH & WESSON .38 MILITARY & POLICE Double Action .38 SPECIAL Revolver C&R
BEAUTIFUL Smith & Wesson Revolvers with PEARL GRIPS
Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson .38 Military & Police First Model Double Action Revolver manufactured circa 1902 in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1899, the United States Army and Navy placed an order with Smith & Wesson for two to three thousand Model 1899 Hand Ejector revolvers chambered for the .38 Long Colt U.S. Service Cartridge.
With this order, the Hand Ejector Model became known as the .38 Military and Police model. That same year, in response to reports from military sources serving in the Philippines on the relative ineffectiveness of the new cartridge, Smith & Wesson began making the Military & Police in a new chambering, the 38 S&W Special (a.k.a. .38 Special), a slightly elongated version of the .38 Long Colt cartridge with greater bullet weight and powder. This change was implemented after the first 1000 had been produced. This revolver was manufactured after the first 1000 that were made in the original .38 Long Colt chambering.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish/patina. Excellent action. Bright bore. Both grips are in fine shape and retain their vibrant colors. Clear, legible markings.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 6-1/2 inches.
Caliber: .38 S&W Special
