Description:
EARLY TARGET SIGHTED S&W .32-20 HAND EJECTOR MODEL OF 1905- 2ND CHANGE, #34XXX. The 1905 2nd Change revolvers were serial numbered 33501-45200 and only made from 1906-1909 before being replaced by the 3rd Change. The serial number of this example places it in the first year of 1906 manufacture. With only 11,600 .32-20s produced in this series, finding one of the very few with target sights is remarkable. By the remaining finish on this example I'd bet it was kept somewhere around the Gulf of Mexico as I've seen a number of firearms from this region appearing like this one. In short, much of the early S&W high polish blue has turned brown. It's not that the blue was worn off, it just aged brown probably because of salty, humid air. There is still some good blue in the cylinder flutes, some on the frame and in protected areas. It is not rusted or pitted, just...brown. The round butt checkered walnut grips fit perfectly and show only light wear with no chips or cracks. Serial numbers all match on the barrel, cylinder and frame, original target sights are fine, all markings are sharp and clear, action is tight with that wonderful turn-of-the-last-century hand fitted and tuned trigger! The bore is bright, sharp and excellent. The screw heads don't look turned. Still and attractive and extremely rare S&W that has a lot of life left in it!
