Description Update (5/31/17): C&R
serial #K312546, 38 Special, 4" heavy barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely 1957 made revolver's most notable feature is the 4" heavy barrel with the barrel writing properly centered. It also features a Baughman ramp front sight, target trigger and target sights. According the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson by Supica and Nahas there was a shipment of revolvers to the Kansas City, Kansas PD in 1957 made in this configuration but further research indicates this gun is not a KPD gun. It's likely this could have been a private purchase or an overrun that was sold off by the company. This gun retains about 99% factory blue with minor handling marks and turn ring on the cylinder. The .500" target hammer and .500" target trigger retain bold case-hardened colors with light operational wear. The revolver has un-numbered diamond checkered walnut grips that rate excellent with a few minor handling marks. This gun appears to have seen little use over the years. A rare configuration in the early hand ejectors. (86520-2939) {C&R} [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES
- All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed. FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System. While most NICS and State approvals are immediate, approvals could take up to 3 days. Most non-residents may take possession of long guns on day of sale after completing the proper forms and successfully completing a NICS check; modern handguns will need to be shipped to an FFL holder in the buyer's home state. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale. Bidders should be familiar with their local and state laws as Amoskeag Auction Co., Inc. will not be responsible for any parties purchasing items which may not be possessed in, or shipped, to their state of residence.
