serial #64300, 38 S&W, 3 1/4'' barrel with a bright very fine bore showing a few small areas of light oxidation and strong rifling. This fancy revolver features lovely detailed flowing foliate scrollwork throughout with fine punch-dot background shading, shell-like patterns on hinge and zigzags along the sides of barrel. The metal surfaces retain about 90% period silver finish showing some scattered light handling marks and some areas of light flaking along the gripstraps and high edges which are taking on a lighter patina blending in very nicely with the surrounding medium gray tarnished silver. The trigger, triggerguard and latch are gold-washed, the bow of the guard thinning somewhat to gray, and all of the embellishments and barrel markings remain crisp. The revolver wears a set of period smooth mother-of-pearl grips that remain in near excellent condition showing a few tiny handling marks and taking on a slight yellowish tinge. The inside surfaces of the grip panels are lightly scratched ''HV'', the remaining numbered parts are matching and barrel-to-frame fit is solid. The revolver includes an original red pebbled paper-covered box in very fine to near excellent condition showing some mild discoloration and edge wear along the exterior. The orange end label is completely intact calling out nickel finish and the bottom appears to be pencil-numbered ''1946''. The box contains an old bore brush and the lid label is intact. A beautiful 38 Safety Hammerless revolver. (13C11199-86) {ANTIQUE} (2500/3500)
