Engraved Smith & Wesson 38 Double Action Revolver
serial #17036, 38 S&W, 3 1/4'' barrel with a mostly bright very good bore showing some scattered pinprick pitting and old oxidation with strong rifling throughout. This revolver shows nice quality New York engraving in near full coverage featuring nice flowing foliate scrollwork with punch-dot shading and extensive zigzag borders. There is a subtle shell motif on the left side of the frame integrated into the scroll and a large flower behind the hammer. The metal surfaces retain about 92% original nickel finish with some scattered light flaking to mild gray-brown patina along the high edges and cylinder, and a bit of minor oxidation speckling. The triggerguard has mostly flaked to gray with some good original blue along the sides while the trigger and hammer retain good case-hardened colors. The smooth mother-of-pearl grips remain in near excellent condition showing some light handling marks. The grips are un-numbered and not quite perfectly fitted in some areas but this is relatively minor. The serialized parts are matching, barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action seems to function well mechanically in both single and double action. (13C11199-41) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
