2nd MODEL, SINGLE ACTION .38 @ 1878

with HISTORICAL POLICE ASSOCIATION

PRICE: $1,500

Serial No. 1287X is in near perfect condition. It has about 99%++ original factory nickel plate finish. There is 99.99% of case color hardening on the hammer and spur trigger. Yes, it has been fired, but probably less than the fingers on your one hand !

This model has the earliest type hard rubber grips, it has the Block Letters S&W, rather than the traditional entwined S&W logo.
Both grips are in perfect condition, no chips, cracks or any damage what so ever. The RIGHT side of the frame is marked KMP 107. This stands for Kingston Mounted Police, a very early mounted Police force, in harmony with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in Ontario, Canada. In 1878 they enforced the Law from horseback ! My thoughts, this exact revolver must have been issued to an Officer, and it saw limited field duty, as witnessed by the excellent condition. ALL mechanical function for loading, unloading and firing function 100% correctly. A "minty" 2nd Model .38, with significant Police History from 1878.
Besides the KMP 107, the picture clearly shows the 100% presence of all the case hardening colors on the hammer.
