ULTRA RARE X NUMBERED PROTOTYPE PRE MODEL 39 Smith & Wesson 9MM Julian Hatcher & Carl Hellstrom Owned 99%
Description: A factory letter is included with the truly rare and special S&W 9mm Prototype from Roy Jinks to long-time S&W aficionado Ray Brazille along with a copy of the original S&W prototype ‘X numbered’ book confirming the configuration and detailing its fascinating history. Among the most important 9mm S&W’s ever this fabulous Pre Model 39 was delivered to Major General Julian Hatcher on July 5, 1954 and was returned to Mr. Carl Hellstrom, then president of S&W, on July 12, 1954. The gun was finally checked out again directly to Mr Hellstrom, presumably as his personal arm per the records. Knowledgable collectors are aware of the extreme rarity and unique nature of the handful of X-Numbered guns built from before WWII to the 1970’s, mostly are early prototype or one-of test guns. This stellar example retains 99% of the original blue finish and has all the early engineering changes several of which are unique to this prototype! A one-on-a-kind investment grade and historically significant 9mm S&W that is certain to add value and interest to even the deepest S&W collections. A must own! Buyer pays $40 for fully insured shipping. Call or text anytime and be sure to check out our other listings! SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
