.22/32 2" Club Gun w/Humpback Hammer
I bought this one about 10 years ago from a friend who had a gunshop in Western Mass. It is one of my favorite Club Guns, but, they all are. It letters as being shipped with a six inch barrel. There is no mention of the stocks.
Quoted directly from the factory letter.
"Company records indicate that your handgun with serial number 0345 was shipped from our factory on May 29, 1928 and delivered to Dana Bull, Springfield MA. The Bull's were part of the Wesson family. Sarah Wesson, D. B. Wesson's daughter married Dr. Bull of Worcester MA. They were divorced and she lived with her father in Springfield. One of the Dr. Bull's family also married Florence Wesson and worked at S&W. But I have no records as to Dana Bull in my notes on the family." The serial number 0345 appears on the frame, cylinder, extractor and the barrel. The serial stamp on the barrel obviously is from a later stamp. There is a rework diamond stamp on the frame and the barrel. This gun has a humpback hammer.
