S&W Military & Police 1st Model of 1899 .38 SPL 6-1/2” ** 3 digit S/N **
Description: A rare example of the earliest model of Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector with a swing out cylinder. The Military & Police Model of 1899, also known as the Military & Police 1st Model, was built as a round butt K frame with 4 screws. In fact, the M&P 1st Model can be considered a pre-5 screw 4-screw revolver as the 5th screw was not added to the basic Hand Ejector design until about 1905. Barrels of 4", 5", 6”, and 6.5" were common. Serial numbers ran from 1 to 20975 with a total of 20,795 produced circa 1899-1902. This example has the 6.5" barrel with the unusual feature of lacking a locking lug in front of the ejector rod. The Model has 1899 also lacks a shoulder at the rear of the barrel as found on later models of the Hand Ejector series. Cylinder length is roughly 1.56". The Model 1899 is also famous for introducing the famous 38 Special cartridge to the world. The 38 Special has been by military, police, and civilians around the world for well over one hundred years and remains very popular to this day. The revolver is in excellent condition as refinished. The bore is bright and shiny and should remain fairly accurate for such an old pistol. The cylinder locks up in the typical S&W fashion and timing is correct. This refinished revolver has most all of the bluing remaining. The lettering on the top of the barrel is still sharp. The only part of the revolver that appears to have been overly polished is the side plate/S&W logo. The grips are in nice shape, are solid, and fit the frame perfectly. There are no cracks. These early M&P's are seldom seen and would make a nice addition to any S&W fan’s collection. PRICE: $595.00 We are Antique & Modern Firearms in Lexington, KY, dealer of fine firearms since 1974.
