1891 LETTERED Antique SMITH & WESSON .32 Safety Hammerless LEMON SQUEEZER
Very Nice FIRST MODEL 5-Shot NICKEL FINISH Revolver
Here we present an antique Factory Lettered First Model Smith & Wesson .32 Caliber Double Action Safety Hammerless Revolver, made in 1891 with a production run going from 1888 through 1902 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a serial number range of 1 through 91417. The Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless models were produced from 1887 (1888 for the .32) to just before World War II. They were chambered in either .32 S&W or .38 S&W with a five-shot cylinder. They were most often produced with a 2-inch, 3-inch, or 3.5-inch barrel. But some 6" barreled versions are known to exist.
This revolver was made to be a simple, compact and reliable firearm that one could carry in a pocket or a holster around the turn of the 20th Century. This revolver features an internal hammer design to remove risk of snagging or stopping the action. There is a grip safety built into the back of the grip frame. The frame is a top-break design that activates the automatic ejector. These are very nice features from the turn of the 20th Century! They were known as "The New Departure" to reflect the company's new approach to designing revolvers.
The included factory letter confirms the current caliber, barrel length, finish, and grips when it was shipped to E.K. Tryon Co. of Philadelphia, PA, on July 9, 1891.
The overall condition is fine. Original nickel finish. Excellent action. Bright, rifled bore. Both grips are in good shape with average handling wear. Markings are sharp. Numbers match.
