serial #2421, 38-44 S&W, 6 1/2'' barrel with a partially bright about good bore showing some areas of light pitting and oxidation with otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this desirable Target Model revolver retain about 94-95% original nickel finish showing some sparse small flakes toning to gray-brown patina, scattered mild freckling and a few areas of small dings, mostly along the cylinder. The nickel is starting to show some honest clouding from the years. The hammer and triggerguard show lovely vibrant case-hardened colors throughout with some drifting to a pleasant smoky gray along the bow of the guard while the latch shows strong bright blue and the trigger some hints of straw color along the edges. The two-line barrel address with patent dates remains crisp and the revolver is factory cut for shoulder stock with the serial number properly off-set slightly to account for the stock cut. The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in very good plus condition showing some light dings and mild smoothing. The right panel is scratch-numbered ''1061'' and otherwise fits quite well. The proper factory target sights are intact and the barrel, latch and cylinder are matching the frame. Barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action seems to function well mechanically. The included original shoulder stock fits the frame nicely and retains about 90% original nickel along the hardware showing some light flaking. The walnut stock proper remains in very fine to near excellent condition as lightly cleaned and showing a little added oil finish and the original checkered hard rubber buttplate also rates near excellent. This is a very fine stocked Target Model for the advanced collector. (13C10826-503) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (5000/7000)
