Shipped in 1890. Great combination - does the box have the serial number written on the bottom?
If you hand this revolver to someone who has never used one before, they would probably not be able to load it. Even the instructions leave something to be desired.
Place thumb on barrel catch . . . Press backward and downward, when the frame may be carried down and the pistol opened.

You can be justly proud, it looks great. Just enough wear to show it wasn't only a sock drawer gun, but really well cared for.

You should start a new Thread and not add on to another one with a different topic. Also, check out this link since S&W made many different models and calibers of revolvers: To IDENTIFY your Gun >

Too bad about the numbers, but that is the serial number of the gun as it left the factory with that box. Maybe 9724?? It means that the box was not original to your gun, but still a nice combination with the correct vintage of an authentic S&W box.
