RARE TARGET SIGHTED S&W .32-20 HAND-EJECTOR M-1905 4TH CHANGE, #85XXX, MADE PRE-1920

Description:
RARE TARGET SIGHTED S&W .32-20 HAND-EJECTOR MODEL OF 1905, 4TH CHANGE, #85XXX, MADE PRE-1920. These were made from 1915-1940 with serial numbers running 65701-144784. That probably puts this one in the late 1910s. Target Model 32-20s are hard to find and this one is in excellent condition. Correct non-medallion checkered walnut grips fit perfectly, exc. blue throughout with only some light wear/age on the barrel sides and on some of the cylinder- minor. Even the grip straps and top strap retain nearly all the factory blue. Exc. markings, fine case color on the hammer and trigger. Correct adjustable target sights, exc. bright bore, tight action. Matching numbers on the frame, cylinder and barrel (actually there is a factory error to the number on the cylinder as the full serial number is 85058 and the cylinder is numbered 85658- a product of poor lighting and workmen who often did not have corrective glasses so a tiny out-of-focus "0" could look like a "6"). The .32-20 caliber revolvers were usually paired with a same caliber rifle or carbine and used by outdoorsmen. They typically saw hard use.
