Top break information.

Acquired this yesterday. Trying to determine model name and year of manufacturer. Trying to research these has me confused.


I will post pictures.


It is a single action, 5 shot. Based on my measurements it matches up to 38s&w. 5" bbl. Serial# 71956. I actually found some ammo in my collection that I think will work, if modern versions of this stuff is safe in an old gun.


Thanks!

Hi There,


You have a .38 CF S&W Single Action 2nd Model. These were made
from 1877 to 1891 (serial numbers: 1 - 108255).


Cheers!

Thank you!

Great gun with an uncommon barrel length. Only about 8.5% of the surviving 38 SA 2nd models wear 5" barrels.

What do you think its worth?

Worth?? Exactly what you paid for it. I have a couple of them and I overpaid for the first, but the second was given to me. I like 'em.
