World War 2 SMITH & WESSON Model K-200 .38-200 BRITISH SERVICE Revolver C&R

WWII BRITISH MILITARY Service Revolver

Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson K-200 .38-200 British Service Revolver, made circa 1940-45 in Springfield, Massachusetts. This revolver is similar to the U.S. Smith & Wesson “Victory” model revolvers and made for the British Commonwealth countries. It features a .38 S&W-200 grain bullet. This example is marked with the Smith & Wesson logo and “MADE IN U.S.A.” on the right side of the frame.

From the spring of 1940 until April of 1942, four, five, and six inch barrels were supplied on the .38-200 revolvers. The initial finish was commercial blue, and later became a duller brush blue. And after the 1942 date, smooth wooden stocks replaced the checkered ones with a silver medallion. At that time, the finish changed to a Parkerized look called Midnight Black, and only 5 inch barrels were furnished. The British wanted 5 inch guns due to Enfield and Webley revolvers also had 5 inch barrels, and the Pattern 1937 holsters were made only for barrels of that length.

The overall condition is fine. Bright, original blue finish. Excellent action. Shiny bore with nice rifling. Both grips are solid with average handling and seem slightly undersized. Markings are legible. Only numbers on the barrel and cylinder match.
