serial #16128, 38 Special, 5'' barrel with a good bore which shows evident rifling but with light pitting its full-length, a spot or two which is more moderate. The revolver shows excellent quality loose open flowing scroll with light background punch-dot shading from engraver Oscar Young; the coverage is roughly 50%. The arm retains about 70% factory silver plate, showing wear to pewter left and right on barrel, high edge and contact point wear on frame, especially along the backstrap and a good deal of wear on the cylinder in the area between the flutes; there is a small ding at the left front of bow of guard. The hammer and trigger have toned primarily to a pewter and speckled plum patina. The revolver has factory mother-of-pearl grips with brass recessed S&W medallions, the grips rating very good plus, the left grip with a small chip missing near the frame. ''EM McBride'' has scratched his name beneath the left grip along with a town which appears to be ''Anniston''. Factory records indicate special order shipment on November 14, 1901 to D.G. Gorver in Fayetteville Tennessee. The gun seems to function mechanically albeit lockup is somewhat loose. Overall a very good example of a factory Oscar Young engraved Model 1899 Smith revolver.
