Smith & Wesson 38 Double Action Revolver
serial #53555, 38 S&W, 3 1/4" barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a few light areas of pinprick pitting with strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain 98% original nickel finish, showing a few scattered light handling marks and oxidation staining visible under direct light focused chiefly on the right flank of the muzzle. The hammer, trigger, and triggerguard have toned overall to a smoky gunmetal patina with the hammer and trigger showing handsome muted case-hardened colors and the triggerguard retaining generous original blue. The checkered hard rubber grips rate excellent, remaining a deep and handsome black and showing little if any wear. Timing and lockup appear sound and the ejector functions robustly, and included is the original hinged cardboard box, correctly end-labeled to this revolver, which remains in excellent overall condition with minimal soiling or edge wear. A lovely 38 DA for the Smith & Wesson enthusiast. (26A10826-673) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (800/1200)
