Smith & Wesson Third Model Ladysmith Revolver with Box
serial #26053, 22 RF, 3'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 97% original nickel finish showing some scattered tiny flakes along some high edges and sides of the barrel, some circumferential wear around the screw heads, and the nickel taking on a slightly cloudy appearance from the years. The hammer shows vibrant case-hardened colors while the trigger is drifting to a smoky gray patina and all markings remain crisp. The checkered walnut grips with gold S&W medallions remain in near excellent condition showing some scattered light dings. The serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically. The included pebbled brown paper-covered box shows proper end label and remains in very fine condition with light edge wear and a few small glue repairs to the lid sides. The interior lid label is intact, the inside of the base shows a factory pearl grip label, and the exterior is mismatched pencil-numbered ''20629''. A fine Third Model with factory box. (13B10826-535) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (2000/2500)
