Selling one ANTIQUE S&W .32 Safety Hammerless (New Departure), First Model, Double Action, Five Shot, Top-Break, “Lemon Squeezer”

Ser. No. 56707, 3.5” Barrel, ~90-95% Original Nickel Finish, 100% Working

<table style="width:194px;"><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url[http://picasaweb.google.comhttp://lh...background.gif) no-repeat left"></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px">S&W .32 Safety Hammerless (New Departure) First Model</td></tr></table>

CONDITION:
As I am not a gun collector let alone an expert, so I sought the opinions of S&W enthusiasts on the Antiques section of this forum and was told this revolver is considered to be in “Excellent” condition, retaining “between 90 and 95%, conservatively,” of its original finish, though as you can see in the photos is has some mottling and wear. It was test-fired (five shots) some years ago and works perfectly. It dry-fires strong and solid; all assemblies remain tight; parts move smoothly; the grips are lightly worn but without any cracks or chipping. Serial numbers match. This is a very good specimen of an early-to-mid 1890’s handgun. It would benefit from a good cleaning and some determined polishing, but I’ve made no effort to spruce it up in any way--the gun you see in the pictures is exactly the gun you get.

PRICE: $419.00 SOLD @ $400

SALE TERMS:
First thread respondent to reply here with “I’ll take it at the asking price" will own the gun.

PAYMENT TERMS:
I accept PayPal and money orders. Payment must be received within 7 days of sale. Item will not ship until payment is confirmed/cleared.

SHIPPING TERMS:
FREE! I will ship anywhere within the U.S. EXCEPT CA, NY, or NJ within two business days of confirmed payment, via USPS Priority Mail, with Delivery Confirmation and Insurance.

HAVE A QUESTION?
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions or to request either additional pictures or e-mailed copies of those already posted. [email protected]

WANT AMMO FOR THIS GUN (OR ONE LIKE IT)?
See my other FS thread in the Accessories/Misc section for 45 rounds of compatible ammunition.

Thank you for your consideration!
