World War II SMITH & WESSON .38/200 Cal. BRITISH Double Action Revolver C&R WWII BRITISH MILITARY Service Revolver
Description: World War II SMITH & WESSON .38/200 Cal. BRITISH Double Action Revolver C&R WWII BRITISH MILITARY Service Revolver Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson .38/200 British Service Revolver, made circa 1940-45 in Springfield, Massachusetts. This revolver is similar to the U.S. Smith & Wesson “Victory” model revolvers and made for the British Commonwealth countries. It features a .38 S&W/200 grain bullet. This example is marked with the Smith & Wesson logo and “MADE IN U.S.A.” on the right side of the frame. From the spring of 1940 until April of 1942, four, five, and six inch barrels were supplied on the .38/200 revolvers. The initial finish was commercial blue, and later became a duller brush blue. And after the 1942 date, smooth wooden stocks replaced the checkered ones with a silver medallion. At that time, the finish changed to a Parkerized look called Midnight Black, and only 5 inch barrels were furnished. The British wanted 5 inch guns due to Enfield and Webley revolvers also had 5 inch barrels, and the Pattern 1937 holsters were made only for barrels of that length. Typically, these will have British military marks on the revolver. A significant number of these were converted to .38 Special for sale back to the American market, though this one remains in the original .38/200 chambering. The .38/200 cartridge developed by Smith & Wesson in 1877. Versions of the cartridge were the standard revolver cartridges of the British military from 1922 to 1963. Though similar in name, it is not interchangeable with the later .38 Special due to a different case shape and slightly larger bullet diameter. The overall condition is very good. Original finish. Bright bore. Excellent action. Sharp markings. This example sports a nice Pachmayr “GRIPPER”. “MADE IN U.S.A.” is marked on the right side of the frame. There is a screw absent on the right side of the frame. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 5 inches. Caliber: .38 S&W (.38-200) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1000 #227158 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
