serial #114643, 32 S&W, 3 1/2" barrel with a bright near-excellent bore showing a few patches of pinprick pitting with strong rifling throughout. This is a lovely Second Issue, retaining 98% brilliant original nickel finish, showing only perhaps a scattered light handling mark or fleck of clouding with the main apology being a few small areas of fine pinprick pitting and oxidation staining on the backstrap. It has been adorned with New York-style punch-dot backed foliate scroll engraving along the sides of the frame and barrel, surrounding diamond motifs on the barrel and cylinder flats, with foliate flourish and intertwined geometric linework along the gripstrap. The smooth ivory grips remain excellent, showing handsome caramel coloring throughout with only a few minute flecks of handling wear and timing and lockup remain sound with the gun exhibiting no discernible play. Dr. Hudson's personal notes indicate that this revolver was acquired from the renowned collection of Andrew ''Mac'' McCroskie, and its beautiful presentation and excellent condition serve as ample corroboration. A fabulous No. 1 1/2. (26B10826-507) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (2000/4000)
