Description:
PRE-WAR .38-44 OUTDOORSMAN TARGET REVOLVER, #41XXX MADE DURING THE WORST YEAR OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION IN 1933. These exceptionally well made adjustable sighted big "N" frame revolvers were only made during the Great Depression from 1931-1941 with only 4,761 made in those ten years. That breaks down to 476 produced each year or only about 39 per month! This is a fine condition example with matching numbers on the frame, cylinder and barrel. Only the diamond checkered grips show a higher serial number stamped on the inside. The blue is getting a little thin on the bottom of the trigger guard and grip straps with some light edge wear on the muzzle and cylinder. The pinned blade portion of the front sight has been slightly altered at the rear portion (only the pinned blade). Excellent sharp markings. Superb pre-war action and bright excellent bore. Still some nice case colors on the hammer and trigger. The hammer has the patent markings on the rear portion. Many of these were bored out to .357 magnum and this one is still the correct, unaltered .38 Special chambering. This one came out of here in Montana and probably has some good history in it!
