FINE New Departure SMITH & WESSON .38 Safety Hammerless C&R LEMON SQUEEZER

5^th Model S&W SELF DEFENSE Hammerless Revolver  

Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson 5th Model .38 Double Action Safety Hammerless Revolver, made circa 1908 with a production run between 1907-1940 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Over the 33-year production run for the 5th model, roughly 41,500 were manufactured within a serial number range of 220,001 through 261,493. The Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless models were produced from 1887 (1888 for the 32) to just before World War II. They were chambered in either .32 S&W or .38 S&W with a five-shot cylinder. They were most often produced with a 2-inch, 3-inch, 3.5-inch, or 4-inch barrel. But some 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 20^th Century. This revolver features an internal hammer design to remove risk of snagging or stopping the action. There is a grip safety built into the back of the grip frame. The frame is a top-break design that activates the automatic ejector.  These are very nice features from the turn of the 20^th Century!

The overall condition is fine. Original nickel finish has been preserved. Excellent action. The bore is in good shape with a nice shimmer and serviceable rifling. The right grip has a large crack, and both grips are missing chips from the butt. Numbers match. Markings are legible.
