RARE Antique 1st Model SMITH & WESSON .38 Safety Hammerless w/PEARL GRIPS
 
THREE DIGIT Serial Number CONCEAL & CARRY Revolver

Here Ancestry Guns presents a antique Smith & Wesson .38 Double Action Safety Hammerless 1st Model Revolver with Pearl Grips, made in 1887 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a serial number range of 1 through 5250. 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 with a five-shot cylinder.

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, making this handgun series known as “Lemon Squeezers”. 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.


The overall condition is very good. Much original nickel is preserved and shares some space with mixed gray patinas. Excellent action. The bore is bright, losing its luster towards the muzzle and maintains crisp rifling. Solid, very good pearl grips. A small sliver is absent from the top right grip. Markings are legible. Visible numbers match.
