Smith & Wesson 32 Double Action Revolver
serial #156959, 32 S&W, scarce 10'' barrel with a bright excellent bore showing only light frosting with strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this Fourth Model revolver retain perhaps 90% original nickel finish, showing scattered handling and high edge wear throughout with the balance of the cylinder toning to an oxidized brown patina, thinning lightly on the barrel with flecks of light bubbling throughout. The hammer and trigger have toned to a smoky gunmetal patina with the hammer showing remnants of case-hardened coloring and the triggerguard and rear sight latch toning to an even brown. The checkered hard rubber grips rate excellent overall, showing minimal handling wear with light softening and toning to a deep brown. The front sight blade appears to be a later-added replacement, timing and lockup appear sound, the ejector remains functional though returns slugglishly or not at all, and the barrel address marking remains largely crisp and legible with some mild softening through the top line. A slightly salty Fourth Model in a desirable configuration. (26A10826-688) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (800/1200)
