S&W questions

rmeyer
What is meant when they say "A Smith and Wesson pre model 30"? That It's the model that later was called 30?

Also why is knowing that it is a five screw important?

    Recently completed auctions for blue 4" Model 19 revolvers show winning bids of $600 to as much as $1100.

    Hmmm, I'm not sure. Photo isn't quite sharp enough, & lighting is not too good, but.....it looks to me like the cylinder notch is dished, which would indicate that it has been refinished.

    A buyer would also want to see the box label, & the back of the stocks.

    As need said, BUT I think it looks good to go. Post a pic of the grips back ect. .It will bring a good buck.

    It appears to have a bit of a turn line, indicating the cylinder has rotated, whether fired or not.

    The 19's were nice to carry, however they would shoot loose with a large diet of full tilt 357's.

    Initial fitting varied in quality, some assembled way tighter than others and shot better because of it.

    My vote is it's original and "dished bolt" just due to lighting. A close up of the other side with S & W emblem might help. Hopefully the label is "upside down" on the box and the target stocks original. I know Smith boxes are a tight fit, if the gun came with service stocks I don't think the targets will fit.

    Is that a trigger over-travel stop in the trigger guard? Can't tell, may be a wrinkle in the paper.

    Very nice looking gun.

    When I get home from vacation I'll take better pics. I do know is was bought in the early 70's by a guy who passed away in 1980. His wife says it sat in her closet since then. The box has a label and original price tag on it but don't remember if upside down or not. Gun has not been refinished.

    DFletcher. The label is upside down. What is the significance of that? My pics suck but did take a close up of the logo on the other side.image_zpsz8msctww.jpg image_zpsvebti4o2.jpg
