Lovely Engraved Forehand Arms Co. 38 Double Action Revolver
serial #328562, 32 S&W, 3 1/4" barrel with a bright very good bore showing a few areas of scattered pitting and distinct rifling throughout. This lovely top-break retains 98% original nickel finish showing only a few scattered light handling marks, faint oxidation staining visible under direct light in the areas of loss, and shows handsome factory foliate scroll engraving throughout which remains crisp. The triggerguard retains generous blue on the sides with the underside toning to brown under direct light while the hammer has toned to a gunmetal patina showing flecks of light oxidation staining. The smooth genuine mother-of-pearl grips remain excellent overall, with slightly proud fit in a few areas and a few minor checks towards the heels of each panel. The ejector functions as it should with strong spring and snap and the barrel markings remain largely crisp and legible with a few letters having softened slightly. Timing and lockup appear sound and included is a hinged red box for a Forehand Arms 38 Double Action which remains in excellent overall condition showing only minimal edge wear and soiling with legible top and bottom end labels. A handsome and high-condition example made sweeter by its factory embellishments and is sure to please any top-break enthusiast. (26A10826-47) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (1000/1500)
