Description: Antique SMITH & WESSON 2nd Model .38 S&W Safety Hammerless “LEMON SQUEEZER” 5-Shot Top Break with PEARL GRIPS & NICKEL FINISH Here we present an antique 2nd Model Smith & Wesson .38 Double Action Safety Hammerless Revolver, made circa 1887-1890 in Springfield, Massachusetts. 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. These were petite and handy little guns that chambered 5 cartridges, perfect for the pocket and enough to get out of most scrapes. With gangsters, and career criminals running rampant, this example would have been the “pocket advantage” a person needed. The overall condition is near fine. Original nickel finish with blued and case colors accents. Luminous and solid mother of pearl grips. The action is excellent. The bore is in very good condition with strong rifling. Numbers match throughout. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/4 inches. Caliber: .38 S&W Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe.
