MINT Smith and Wesson Model 38 Bodyguard w/ Box (NICKEL, 2", C&R) S&W

Description:
The Bodyguard series, later named Models 38, 49, 638, and 649, offered a compromise not found in many other revolvers. Typically, you can either have a fully enclosed hammer to prevent snags, which prevents use in single-action, or you can have an exposed hammer that can snag but allows precise single-action use. 

These models, with aluminum, steel, and stainless steel frames respectively, allow both by having a shroud that leaves only the serrated hammer spur exposed. This prevents snagging and allows for single-action use, the best of both worlds. This Model 38 Bodyguard Airweight is a compact and lightweight, snag-free revolver that is still capable of precise shooting when necessary.

This example has a nickel finish that would rate 99%. The gun appears to only have been factory test fired. Matching box. Gun is all matching, including the grips.
