MINTY S&W MODEL .32 HAND EJECTOR MODEL OF 1903- 5TH CHANGE, factory letter, 1912
Description: SUPERB, MINTY S&W MODEL .32 HAND EJECTOR MODEL OF 1903- 5TH CHANGE, 3 1/4" NICKEL, WITH FACTORY LETTER, #170XXX, MADE THE YEAR THE TITANIC SANK IN 1912! The 1903- 5th Change was only made from 1910-1917 and finding examples in this condition is difficult. As small pocket or holster pistols, they tended to get carried and handled a lot which leaves surviving guns now usually in less than excellent condition. This gorgeous example retains about all the bright original nickel with only a light cylinder line and barely a touch of peel at the left muzzle. Screws are unturned, sharp markings, the hammer and trigger show fine case color, matching numbers, tight action, exc. bore, exc. grips and even the ejector rod retains its nickel. The S&W historical letter describes this one as it is, including grips, and states it was shipped August 9, 1912 to Von Lengerke & Antoine, Chicago, IL. These hand tuned and hand finished early 20th century Smiths are simply a joy. This is a great 112 year old example in a finish and condition hard to acquire today.
