Top Break 32. Is this rear site "standard"?

[1900colt]

Of the guns I purchased in a group...this one I like the most!
Any guess on age and if they all have this site? Most of the top breaks I have seen just have a groove rear site.

Thanks!

Its a .32 SH First Model, 1888-1902. Your SN is about the middle of the range, so maybe 1895 or so. I think that's the typical rear sight.

Very nice example, and yes the rear sight is the standard one for the 1st Model.

Are the pearl stocks numbered to the gun? Ed.

Just removed them and found no number on either one...replacements maybe? They don't have the S&W logo on them.

"...replacements maybe? They don't have the S&W logo on them." Generally speaking, Smith & Wesson did not put their logo on their stocks until.. around.. 1895. Only a letter would tell what the configuration was when that the revolver left the factory. Mike
