A couple of squeezers

[Pilgrim]

I recently picked up this 'lemonsqueezer'. By the serial number, it appears to be made in/about 1907, if I read the book right. If it weren't for a couple of pits on the other side, it would be about a perfect finish. A lousy pic but the price was right...$250 OTD.

it's a nice match to my other one, but it was refinished sometime in the past:

Nice find for the price. Ed.

Good buy on the nickel ?38? Are both 38s? From the configuration, I suspect you have a 4th Model Safety, with the first 3,900 being classified as antiques. The 1899 antique cut off for these revolvers is serial # below 119,900.

Very very nice. A good addition to anyone's collection.

yup both .38's.

the nickel one is serial #172xxx and the blue is #235xxx.

Am I right on the dates? 1907 and 1909 ?

Years look to be closer to 1903 and 1913, give or take a year. The earlier Safety is a Fourth Model and the blued one is a Fifth Model.
