Desirable Smith & Wesson 32 Safety Hammerless Bicycle Revolver
serial #88040, 32 S&W, scarce 2'' barrel with a bright very good bore showing a few moderate pits towards the breech with strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this Third Model retain 90% original blue, showing scattered handling marks and high edge wear throughout, with the cylinder and grip safety toning largely to brown under direct light and oxidation staining in the areas of loss. The trigger has toned to a handsome smoky gunmetal patina and the checkered hard rubber grips remain excellent, showing only a few minor handling marks and some mild panel-to-panel discoloration. Timing and lockup are sound, ejector function remains robust, and the grip safety functions as it should. Included is a period hinged green cardboard box for the 3'' counterpart to this revolver which remains excellent overall with minimal soiling or edge wear. A charming and mechanically tight 32 DA for the collector. (26A10826-654) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (1000/1500)
