NO RESERVE!! Here's a rather scarce antique Smith & Wesson special order revolver. This is a .38 Single Action Model 2 (Second Issue) that was manufactured in 1882. Chambered for the .38 S&W black powder cartridge, it wears the scarce 5" barrel and is factory fitted with a special order butt swivel. It is interesting to note that the frame's serial number was stamped on the left side of the frame beneath the grip since the butt swivel would have covered the number if stamped in the standard location. The serial numbers are properly matching on the frame, cylinder, barrel and latch. I cannot make out a number on the grips. Overall condition is good with wear typical of a revolver that saw steady use for many years. The original blue finish has faded to a patina for the most part, with some original bright blue finish still found in some of the protected areas. There are a few small spots of minor pitting. The mechanics are in generally good working order with some minor looseness. The cylinder advances reliably and the automatic ejector is in good working order also. The bore is fair to good with about 60% bright rifling and dark some areas of erosion and shallow pitting...it appears that it would be shootable. This interesting old revolver comes with a Smith & Wesson factory letter which states that it was shipped with the 5" barrel and butt swivel to M.W. Robinson, New York, NY on February 28, 1882.
Buyer pays $15.00 shipping. This is an antique revolver and as such, no FFL is required for transfer and in most areas it can be shipped directly to the winning bidder. There are exceptions (New Jersey, New York, etc) where an FFL transfer may still be required. Please know your local laws before bidding. Bidder must be a minimum of 21 years old and willing to provide proof of age with payment.
