Excellent Smith & Wesson 38 Safety Hammerless Revolver with Box
serial #107471, 38 S&W, 3 1/4'' ribbed round barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 98-99% original nickel finish showing a few small flakes to brown along the cylinder and scattered light handling marks. The triggerguard and latch retain a similar amount of original bright blue showing a few errant freckles and the trigger shows somewhat muted but strong case-hardened colors. All markings remain crisp and clear and the black checkered hard rubber grips remain in excellent condition showing a few light handling marks along the edges. Their fit is perfect and the left panel retains a nice patent date along the bottom edge. The serialized parts are matching, barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action seems to function well mechanically. The included pebbled red paper-covered box remains in very fine to near excellent condition showing some mild edge wear and light handling marks. The correct orange end label is also near excellent and the pencil number on the base is extremely faded and difficult to discern. There are some antique ink markings on the base that are somewhat mysterious ''go ss / gi ss'' and the interior lid label is very fine. A wonderful boxed New Departure revolver. (13B11789-3) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)
