Description:
Early 1900s SMITH & WESSON .38 Safety Hammerless C&R SELF DEFENSE Revolver
Nice TURN OF THE CENTURY Top Break Revolver
Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson .38 S&W Safety Hammerless 4th Model Top Break Double Action Revolver, made circa 1898-1907 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a serial number range of 116003 through 220000. 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.
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. With gangsters, and career criminals running rampant, this example would have been the “pocket advantage” a person needed.
The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish has been preserved. Excellent action. Shiny bright bore with strong rifling. Both grips are in fine shape with light handling wear. Numbers match. Markings are legible.

Barrel is 3-1/4 inches.
