SMITH & WESSON .32 S&W Safety Hammerless C&R “LEMON SQUEEZER” w/PEARL GRIPS

5-Shot Smith & Wesson “NEW DEPARTURE” Revolver

Here we present a C&R 2nd Model Smith & Wesson .32 Double Action Safety Hammerless Revolver, made circa 1902 through 1909 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a serial number range of 91418 through 169999. 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 six 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! They were known as “The New Departure” to reflect the company’s new approach to designing revolvers.

These were petite and handy little guns that chambered 5 cartridges, perfect for the pocket and enough to get out of most scrapes. With gangsters, and career criminals running rampant, this example would have been the “pocket advantage” a person needed.

The overall condition is fine. Original nickel finish. Excellent action. The bore is mostly bright, but does have a dark pitted ring towards the muzzle. Fine, and fiery, pearl grips. Sharp markings. Visible numbers match.
