Smith & Wesson 38 Safety Hammerless Revolver
serial #171, 38 S&W, 3 1/4" barrel with ''first production'' patent dates and a bright very good bore showing a few scattered pits with strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this First Model revolver retain 98% original nickel finish showing some intermittent cloudiness with scattered light bubbling, flaking, and handling wear, with the main apology being a small impression on the right side of the barrel nearer the muzzle. The trigger has toned to a smoky case-hardened patina and the triggerguard has toned largely to gunmetal showing some mottling under direct light and retaining handsome original blue in some of the protected areas. The checkered hard rubber grip panels remain excellent overall showing minimal handling wear and some mild discoloration under direct light. Timing and lockup appear sound, the ejector remains functional if not sluggish, and the grip safety appears to function as it should. A high condition and low-numbered First Model. (26A10826-608) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (1000/1500)
