CONDITION: Extremely fine. The revolver retains 95% plus original blue finish showing some holster type wear to the barrel, a cylinder drag line and some minor handling marks. Nearly all of
the original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The undersized replacement grips are very good with a small chip missing near the bottom
(left panel) and typical age cracking.
The panels have attractive grain pattern and color. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very fine showing little signs of wear. This revolver links the histories of two great American companies. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind piece
of American firearm history, this is it! A definite must have for the serious Smith & Wesson collector!
Provenance: The Chad Gripp Collection; Property of a Gentleman. Estimate: 18,000 - 27,500
