This was such a nice looking piece I had to get it. Kind of a unpopular caliber but it had the box and all the papers. Maybe I'll send in the registration and warranty card. Wink

Sorry about the blue tint, I was using a aquarium light.





Maybe a flash shot.

It is still a nicely made little revolver. Even back in the 1960's, when they were still being made in some numbers, you rarely saw one in a gun shop. Most of them were exported to Europe and South America. The .38 S&W cartridge was also used in various Webley & Scott revolvers which were popular with police in some British Commonwealth nations.

Thanks for the history, I did not know that. I will probably just shoot a box and tuck it away in the safe.

Great find. I really enjoy shooting mine, even though ammo is outrageous for it.

Years ago, I had a .38 Enfield British break action revolver that fired .38 S&W. It was a double action only design without a hammer spur. Way ahead of its time, actually. I had a Lee Loader for .38 S&W and used to cast my own bullets for it. By the way, it is closer to a true .38 caliber in bullet diameter than is the .38 Special.

That gun is extremely cool. I am looking for a few in that general genre, 30's, 31's, 32's, and of course my pistol that you now have the 33. I have a 4" 31 SB on the way. Good job. beaver.

Very nice M33. I had a Pre Model 33 improved I Frame that I wish I would have kept. Not in the same shape as yours but a nice little gun.
