I have a Lemon Squeezer model 38S&W, but don't know what model it is or how old. Can someone help me? It's serial number is 110200

It is the 2th model safety Hammerless made between 1887 and 1890.
The numbering started by 5251 and stops at 42483.

Hi its not a second Model as Thuer states its a 3rd Model Serial number range 42484-116002 made from 1890-1898. Yours probly made in late 1897 to early 1898 therebouts. There a blast to shoot if you can find the ammo for them. Enjoy!!..

you can order ammo for the .38 S&W and the .32 S&W from old western scrounger .I beleive the .38s are about 28.00/50 and the .32s were about 24.50 for 50ct . about 3bucks a box to ship.

I have one of these in "good condition" have not shot it..It has pre 1900's on barrel nickel finish fair to good. pearl grips , some rusted screw grips but otherwise nice gun. Trying to establish value currently with dealers in this area.

I think Model 5 ser# 56668,

Welcome to the Forum. You do have a 38 Safety Hammerless, Third Model, shipped in 1898 and is considered an antique by the BATF. Antique cut-off is serial # below 119,900.

It is always best to start a new Thread and not trample other's posts. It can get quite confusing talking about multiple guns. I assume you have a 38 S&W Safety? If so, it is a Third Model, shipped in 1891. As for checking with dealers, most of them cannot even identify these guns correctly, let alone establish a ship date from the factory.
