Product Description
Early 1900s SMITH & WESSON .38 Safety Hammerless C&R SELF DEFENSE Revolver
Nice TURN OF THE CENTURY Top Break Revolver
Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson .38 S&W Safety Hammerless 4th Model Top Break Double Action Revolver, made circa 1898-1907 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a serial number range of 116003 through 220000. The Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless models were produced from 1887 (1888 for the 32) to just before World War II.
They were most often produced with a 2-inch, 3-inch, 3.5-inch, or 4-inch barrel. But some 4-1/2”, 5” and 6″ barreled versions are known to exist. This revolver was made to be a simple, compact and reliable firearm that one could carry in a pocket or a holster around the turn of the 20th Century. This revolver features an internal hammer design to remove risk of snagging or stopping the action.
The overall condition is fine. Reflective original nickel finish. Excellent action. The bore is in very good shape with most of its original shimmer and nice rifling. Fine grips. Markings are sharp. Numbers match. With gangsters, and career criminals running rampant, this example would have been the “pocket advantage” a person needed.
