Description:
Fine Vintage WWI Period S&W Pre-Model 10 .38 Revolver W/ Box

Offered her for sale and just acquired is a classic WWI period Smith & Wesson .38 revolver. This specimen, serial number 234704 has a 4" barrel. It comes in its original factory box with wooden cleaning tool.
  • The .38 Military & Police (pre–Model 10) in .38 Special and 4-inch barrel is the most desirable “service length” barrel. This is an excellent opportunity to obtain such a vintage revolver- all MATCVHING including box with original accessories.
The serial number 234704 places it in the earlier .38 . It was made around 1914–1915 evidenced by factory records as well as was marked with inked December 2, 1914 on box.  It is a true pre-war M&P revolver .
The Smith & Wesson Model 10 family began in 1899 and became the standard U.S. police revolver for decades.
The specimen has a minty bore and near-perfect grips. It has nearly all of its original finish however there is one imperfection on cylinder which incurred some rust. It was carefully cleaned but patch of fine “pin-prick” pitting remains.
The original factory box is complete and matching however the cardboard insert veneer pieces were broken but all there. We have left “as is” and can glue them back  on request-or leave it up to the buyer.
Complete early S&W sets are much scarcer than the guns themselves. This is a fine one.
