serial #1696, 38-44 S&W, 6 1/2'' ribbed round barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a nice target revolver with special order Russian-style spur triggerguard retaining about 95% original nickel finish that shows some mild loss toning to gray-brown patina along the edges of the gripstraps, some scattered thin scratches or light handling marks and a bit of honest clouding here and there. The triggerguard and hammer retain a similar amount of attractive vibrant case-hardened colors that show a little muting to smooth smoky gray patina and the sights show nice bright blue. The revolver is equipped with the 1 7/16'' cylinder and the barrel address with reissue patent date remains crisp. The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in near excellent condition showing a few light handling marks and toning to a deep brown patina. The right panel is properly scratch-numbered to the gun and their fit is excellent. The remaining serialized parts are matching and the revolver is fitted with factory standard target sights. Barrel-to-frame fit is excellent and the action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. The included factory letter indicates the revolver shipped as-described (including the triggerguard) on January 30, 1891 to M.W. Robinson Co. of New York City. A lovely example with the scarce spur triggerguard for the Smith & Wesson collector. (13C11739-36) {ANTIQUE} (4000/5000)
