Rare 2” Barrel SMITH & WESSON .32 Safety Hammerless “BICYCLE” Revolver C&R
5-Shot Smith & Wesson NEW DEPARTURE Lemon Squeezer
Description: Rare 2” Barrel SMITH & WESSON .32 Safety Hammerless “BICYCLE” Revolver C&R 5-Shot Smith & Wesson NEW DEPARTURE Lemon Squeezer Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R 2nd Model Smith & Wesson .32 Double Action Safety Hammerless “Bicycle” Revolver, with the rare 2” barrel made circa 1902 through 1909 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a serial number range of 91418 through 169999. 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. This 5-shot revolver would have been ideal to keep in a pocket or a small holster for self-defense in the turbulent early 20th Century. This little snub-nosed revolver was nicknamed “Bicycle Gun” due to its small size and particularly short barrel. The term was coined during a time when bicycles were really coming into their own and people used them as a primary mode of transport. Savage dogs were a threat not to take lightly for a cyclist and so very small revolvers were marketed as protection against them. Of course, really small handguns have always found their niche with people for protection other than dogs. These were petite and handy little guns, 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 fine. Much of the original finish is preserved. Strong action. The bore is bright with sharp rifling, and a light spot of pitting towards the muzzle. Markings are legible. Numbers match. Both grips are fine. Own the original!
