Another old Smith I stumbled upon

Every once in awhile I find myself looking at old S&W revolvers. I have always thought if I could find an old triple lock at a decent price I would try to grab it. A month or so ago I saw this old gun for sale and was able to snag it. I have read several times that many consider the triple lock one of the finest revolvers ever built and I have to admit this one has as smooth an action as any double action I own. One neat thing about it is its serial number, a low three digit number. I may look for an old pair of stag or ivory grips just for grins and giggles but for now, I will appreciate the old girl for what it is.


 
Hi Dan! I do not find a serial number on the grips but I do not know enough about early Smiths to know if they numbered the triple lock grips to the gun. I do know it is one very sweet old gun that will actually see some mild 44 Special loads this summer.
 
Robb,
Very nice, indeed! It's fun to witness someone's good fortune. Your having found a triple lock in such fine shape -& with such a low serial number, (!) is encouraging to the rest of us. Thanks for sharing your good find!
