more vintage S&Ws

[submitbytyping]

If you know your S&Ws I'd love to hear your thoughts on the one in the middle - it's a double digit serial (note the indentations). My grandparents used to carry it in their antique store pre-depression.

The other revolver has a 2" barrel which is also on the rare side as I understand it.

For some reason, I really like the top break revolvers. I have my great grandmothers black powder Iver and Johnson that she kept under her pillow down on the border. I have had it since I was a little kid. Not worth much of anything but except for sentimental value.

I don't know much about the value of S&W revolvers but here is a pic of my great grandmothers gun.

thanks for posting the pic. I could look at old sentimental guns all day. Along the same lines it makes me wonder about the military surplus guns and the stories they could tell.

I have 3 old S&W revolvers
One is a secret services special top break
I suggest sending a letter with serial #
To Roy Jinks at S&W
He Will send you back a letter telling you the date it
left the factory who it was shipped to ect .
Its worth the $50 in my opinion

Looks like a 3rd model double action. Beautiful collection, I've always had a soft spot for the top breaks.

I'm looking at the Standard Catalog of S&Ws for my info.

The one on the right is a 2nd Model .32 Safety Hammerless. The 2" version is referred to as the "Bicycle Gun."

I'm going to spring for the $50 for info on each revolver. I'll keep everyone posted on what they say.
