Scarce Smith & Wesson Third Model Perfected Single Shot Target Pistol
serial #4802, 22 LR, scarce 6'' barrel with a lightly pitted bore showing strong rifling throughout. This lovely pistol was refurbished by the factory in July 1956. It retains about 99% factory restored blue with a few insignificant handling marks and old pitting under the new finish. The smooth trigger has toned to mostly gray with remnants of case-hardened colors at the top while the hammer retains beautiful swirls of case-hardened colors. The un-numbered diamond checkered walnut target extension grips feature gold S&W medallions and remain in excellent condition with a few handling marks. This gun features a Paine gold bead front sight, adjustable ''U'' notch rear sight, the barrel is un-numbered but the barrel latch is numbered to the gun. Barrel to frame fit is tight and the action remains crisp. An excellent Third Model in a uncommon barrel configuration. (8A10826-635) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (1000/1500)
