Description:
RARELY ENCOUNTERED S&W MODEL 1891 .38 S&W CALIBER SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER, #10XXX, MADE 1890s. One of the most attractive of the top break line the Model '91 looks like a scaled down New Model No. 3. It was the only single action pocket revolver with a trigger guard instead of a spur trigger guard. Supposedly almost 27,000 of these were made, but as all the sources reveal, this model is seldom seen. Either the number produced is wrong (probably) or most of this model was exported (p0ssible) as most Americans by this time wanted their pocket revolvers t.o be double action- like the safety hammerless models in .32 and .38 S&W. Regardless, this is one of the most difficult models to find. This example with standard 3 1/4" barrel and nickel plated finish has all matching numbers on the frame, cylinder, cylinder latch and barrel. It has the correct black hard rubber grips with S&W monogram. Grips are fine with one chip on the bottom edge at the butt on the left side that is mainly visible when observed from the bottom. Fine nickel shows some flaking on the cylinder and some scattered light freckling on the barrel sides and frame sides. Still retains some light case color on the hammer sides and back. Exc. mech, tight overall, fine bright bore with scattered surface corrosion that ought to brush out. Excellent markings including the "MODEL OF 91" on the barrel top along with S&W address and patent dates etc. Comes with unmarked brown leather holster that is very aged but sound and obviously made for this revolver. Nice example and super difficult to find!
