Letter request and check in the mail, can't wait to see what it says. I will post upon receipt.

When everyone says letter you are referring to the smith and Wesson historical society?

Packing tape on outer box.

This may explain it. Now I need to see if one of the others has the serial # that's on the bottom of the box.

Without the wax paper it barely fits. And I apologize for all the pics being sideways, learning this forum.

Serial # on pistol.

Poor lighting. Also the hammer says reg us patent. The serial # is on the butt of the grip frame and is hard to read with the naked eye.

Understood and thank you for your opinion, your tone was not offensive at all. I was excited to shoot one of these pistols and this was the only one that wasn't either locked up or in need of a look over prior to firing. As far as it being unfired, the test target shows it was fired, and it was...

Good catch, it does not fit in the box the way it should and tore the box. I will be posting many more threads and pictures once I sift through exactly what I have as I am splitting the collection with my brother. Also in there is a 1920's Thompson which I'm guessing I shouldn't have....

How do I go about getting a factory letter? Is that just submitting photos and serial # to S&W? And I'm just curious on the value, I have no intentions on selling. I also have the same pistol in .32 caliber that has the same front sight and is from around the same year, but I don't have the...

Factory target, serial # on target matches serial # on the butt of the pistol.

Other side.
