Fine Stevens No. 35 Offhand Target Single Shot Pistol
serial #34728, 22 LR, 6'' part round part octagon barrel with an excellent bore. This beautiful pistol appears to have seen little use. The barrel retains about 98% original blue showing some light thinning over the barrel address under strong light. The frame retains about 99% original nickel plate. The trigger and hammer retain full blue with slight edge wear on the trigger. The smooth walnut factory grips rate excellent with reapplied varnish and they are numbered to the gun. The barrel and frame numbers match, barrel to frame fit is tight, it has a crisp action, and features a bead front sight with step adjustable rear sight. It includes an original period box that is correctly end labeled to the gun and bore wipe (cleaning rod). The dark blue box has diamond pattern on the top and rates about fair. It shows light edge wear, the label has several small tears but remains intact, and the bottom of the box is failing in the corners for the full length of two sides although a skillful person may be able to make acceptable repairs. A truly fine example seldom seen with the box. (8A10826-718) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (700/900)
