Default SPF 5" Pre-War Blue 38/44 Heavy Duty, hand delivered by Doug Wesson

SPF

I acquired this pre-war Heavy Duty on this forum from a well known 38/44 collector. This 5" revolver was actually taken from the factory in Springfield, MA and delivered to Boston, MA by Doug Wesson himself. I'm not sure if it is an LEO gun, a personal delivery to an important person, or just a gift to a friend. I'm leaning towards it being a Boston Police gun because there is a "106" stamped on the right side of the frame where the one line address is, but I'm not positive.

The Heavy Duty has been nicely reblued and is wearing period correct stocks. The number on the right panel is very close but not matching to the rest of the revolver. The gun is in excellent condition and functions perfectly.

I would like to trade this gun for a nice shooter pre-29/29/29-2, or another interesting N-frame. Let me know what you have and hopefully we can work something out. The original factory letter will come with the gun, but there is no box or accessories. Please PM or email ([email protected]) if you have any questions.

Thanks for the offers so far, but I have not finalized a trade yet. I hope I've answered all the questions that were emailed to me. Still interested mostly in N-frames (.44 Mag especially), but would consider certain early Model 19's. I have a number of Highway Patrolman revolvers already, so that's the only N-frame that I don't need.

Thanks
