Unusual Modified Smith & Wesson Second Model Transitional Single Shot Pistol
serial #23447, 22 LR, 10'' barrel with an excellent bore. This gun has an unusual added feature, an added rim shield covering the entire extractor effectively acting like a rebated chamber found on a revolver.. This ''First / Second Model'' Transitional is serial numbered in the First Model series but lacks the recoil shields, hand, and cylinder stop cuts. The metal surfaces retain about 97% original blue showing light edge wear, thinning finish on the frontstrap, and handling marks. The hammer and triggerguard retain bold case-hardened colors while the trigger is bright. The diamond checkered hard rubber factory grips feature S&W monograms, are numbered to the gun, and remain in superb condition. The barrel, top latch, and extractor are correctly numbered to the gun, barrel to frame fit is tight, and it has two pins in the frame. The front sight is a later added undercut wide Patridge while the rear is a factory adjustable with later added square notch rear slider (blade). An excellent Transitional Model likely modified to meet the needs of the period competitor. (8B10826-639) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (1500/2000)
