1. -- SOLD-- A very nice four screw 6" Smith & Wesson model 53 .22 Jet in great condition. This 1961 revolver has an excellent bore with sharp lands and grooves. Cylinder timing and lock up are excellent and it comes with target hammer, target trigger and diamond target stocks. I would rate the original factory bright blue at 98%+. The only defect I see is a small chip in the left stock at the bottom of the backstrap (see photo). Comes with (6) original .22lr inserts. Many additional photos available via email upon request.

2. --SOLD-- An extremely accurate S prefix 6 1/2" S&W model 25-2 .45ACP which retains 98-99% of its original bright blue factory finish. This vintage revolver from late 1962 has an excellent bore, cylinder timing and lock up. It has target hammer, target trigger and factory target presentation stocks. Serial number range is S 227XXX which indicates a mfg date of 1962. All 6 chamber throats measure .450" which accounts for the revolver's ability to shoot 3/4" - 1" C to C 6 shot groups with match ammo at 25 yards. If you've been looking for a vintage, super accurate model 25-2 in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, you've got one to consider.

3. A collector quality pre-lock, pre-MIM S&W pinned & recessed 8 3/8" model 48-4 .22 magnum rimfire with auxiliary fitted .22 long rifle cylinder. This revolver does not appear to have been fired much (if at all) since leaving the S&W factory in 1980. It retains all of its original factory bright blue with no wear I can see anywhere. Even the cylinder turn line is very faint. The bore and cylinder lock up and timing on both cylinders are as new. This revolver has the .500" target hammer, .500" target trigger and football target stocks. It would be extremely hard to find an example in better condition. No box, but will ship in a new padded pistol rug with extra pocket for the .22lr cylinder. It is cross listed and additional photos are available via email upon request.

4. Pre-lock, pre-MIM, pinned and recessed 6" S&W model 17-4 .22lr with .500" target hammer, .500" target trigger and target stocks. The unusual feature of this revolver is its red ramp Baughman front sight and white outline rear sight blade. Most of the model 17s came with the Patridge front sight and plain, blued rear sight blade. This example is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition with a perfect bore and great cylinder timing and lock up. The only wear I see on its original bright factory bluing is a cylinder turn line. Serial number range is 26K5XXX indicates 1978 production. Additional photos available via email upon request.

5. -- SOLD -- Rare 4" S&W pre-model 24 1950 Target .44 Special in excellent condition. I would rate the original factory bright blue at 97-98% with a few handling marks and some scratches on the sideplate. The bore is bright with excellent rifling. Cylinder timing is spot-on and lock up is fine. All serial numbers on the metal parts match and the revolver letters with the 4" barrel, bright blue and RR/WO sights. Since leaving the S&W factory in 1954 it acquired a .500" target hammer and .500" serrated target trigger set plus a very nice set of factory non-relieved checkered diamond target stocks. My understanding is fewer than 200 of the 5 screw 1950 Target .44 Special revolvers shipped with the 4" barrel. It comes with a factory letter. Serial number range is s 118XXX. Many additional photos available via email upon request. A very nice example of a hard to find .44 Special. Not interested in trades. Forum rules apply.
