S&W Pre-War .38 M&P Model of 1905 Revolver
Serial #434882, .38 Special, 6" barrel with a very good bore that has some minor freckling within the grooves. This is a handsome revolver that has matching numbers on the frame, barrel, cylinder, yoke, and extractor, with the metal retaining 80-85% of the original blue finish, with fading along the sides of the barrel, silvering along the high edges, as well as visible forging lines on the sideplate, and a bright turn-ring on the cylinder. The hammer and trigger retain about 50-60% of the original color case-hardening, with freckled gray on the balance. The diamond-center grips are correct, but numbered to a different gun, and are in very good condition with some flattening of the points, as well as minor handling marks, scratches, and some impact blemishes at the butt. This is a very nice example of a pre-war .38 M&P, and would make a good representative example for a collection. FFL or C&R
