Description:
West German POLICE Marked S&W Model K-200 .38 BRITISH SERVICE Revolver C&R
With “Pol. Lun.11” Marked Backstrap
Here we present a C&R German Police Marked 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. The backstrap is marked “Pol. Lun. 11”; “Lun” for either Lüneburg in Lower Saxony or Lünen in Baden-Württemburg
This example has British military marks on the revolver. A significant number of these were converted to .38 Special for sale back to the American market, though this one remains in the original .38-200 chambering. The .38-200 cartridge was developed by Smith & Wesson in 1877. Versions of the cartridge were the standard revolver cartridges of the British military from 1922 to 1963. Though similar in name, it is not interchangeable with the later .38 Special due to a different case shape and slightly larger bullet diameter.
The overall condition is good. Original finish. Robust action. The bore is shiny bright with strong rifling. The grips are in very good shape with sharp checkering and the expected amount of wear from use. Markings are legible. Barrel, cylinder, and butt numbers match. “Pol. Lun. 11” is marked on the butt strap.
