/scored a really old S&W revolver today

[Bassics]

matched the hammer and topstrap, but barrel assembly looks different. This is a pre-model 10 in 38 I believe. Yours should



Here's another that indicates they were concurrent with the model 10/victory



the model 10 started in 1899, I bet yours is 1930-1945.

probably right but mine doesnt say 1911 on it anywhere... it says "MARV IV SERIES 80" which probably doesnt mean anything... it still does break down the exact same way as a full size 1911 though

Think of it like an SRT-4. As much as people want to deny its a Neon because it doesn't say it anywhere, its still a Neon

the ammo that fits in this weapon is 32-20 whatever that is.. i do have a box of it though

on the top of the barrell it reads this


"smith and wesson springfield mass usa
patented october 6 1901, december 17 1901
feb 6 1908 sept 14 1908 december 19 1914"

[Bassics]

Not a smith collector so I don't know, but you have verified it is post 1914

Seems to be on par with a .44 magnum.

[Bassics]

No I don't think so. More like a 30 Carbine.

I never knew smith made a double action in 32-20 though. I was assuming 32 short. Lots of those were issued.

If it is a 32-20 then it was likely never any issue piece.

[Stephen]

Its not for sale but any idea on what its worth?

[Bassics]

$100 as a functioning pistol I guess. As a collectible I have no idea.
