Here is a Smith and Wesson 1950 Target Model with the very rare light barrel on the 5-screw N-Frame. The diamond Magna grips are period correct for the gun but are stamped with a different serial number. Gun is in perfect shape with a fine bore and some minor blue wear around the muzzle. Made around 1953-54 by serial number. Only 2,768 ever made from 1950-1961, and far fewer of these are this earlier 5-screw variant. This has a scarce and desirable Micro "cockeye" hammer installed, a non-factory option used by serious target shooters of the era. A S&W Target or Standard Hammer would be easily interchanged if so desired, but I rather like the Micro Hammer on this particular firearm. Email me for detailed pictures. Inspection period of one week, your satisfaction guaranteed. The 4th SC of S&W list this revolver in Excellent Condition (about where this one shakes out) as being worth $3200 but I have been advised that this is among the few instances where the book has the value wrong. A fair price for this scarce N-frame seems to be $1950. [email protected]
