Smith & Wesson .32 Safety Hammerless First Model – Engraved, With Ivory Grips

A Smith & Wesson .32 S&W Safety Hammerless (“lemon Squeezer’) First Model -Engraved, with period ivory grips.  This is a dandy little .32 in its original un-numbered factory burgundy box that is in nice condition! These were manufactured from 1888 to 1902. This one is from an early series. (Serial # 5755X  — so circa 1892.) The ivory grips are in excellent condition, showing just minor age discoloration.  This revolver has 50% original nickel finish with a nice even pattern of thinning, mainly on the barrel. The period engraving is floral pattern on the barrel, top strap, frame, and even the cylinder. Excellent mechanical condition. Bore is quite nice, mostly shiny, with quite distinct rifling.  All-in-all this is a dandy S&W that is both collectible and shootable.  (EMPK-408)
