WITHDRAWN *CUSTOM ENGRAVED SMITH & WESSON 1ST MODEL HAND EJECTOR (TRIPLE LOCK) DA REVOLVER. SN 3915. Cal. 44 Spcl. Blue finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, integral half moon front sight with groove rear sight in top strap. Spectacularly & beautifully engraved by well known engraver, Jerome C. Glimm & signed on top of crane. Engraving consists of about 60% coverage on frame of spectacular foliate arabesque scrolls with other pattern below cylinder on left side. Engraving patterns also extend over bbl & at muzzle with feather patterns over top strap continuing down rear edge of frame beside hammer slot & on back strap. Cylinder is beautifully engraved to match with a wonderful hand engraved serrated pattern at rear edge. Both sides of frame have gold wire border with a fine gold wire cross hatched pattern on top of bbl at the frame with gold wire bands around ejector rod housing & another at muzzle. Top of back strap has another very fine gold wire onion dome shaped inlay with gold wire inlay on butt strap. Cylinder has a narrow gold band at rear edge with continuous gold wire around flutes. Fitted with smooth 2-pc ivory grips. Accompanied by a certificate from engraver Glimm dated 7-13-1989. This is certainly one of the more beautifully custom engraved Smith & Wesson revolvers. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine, all matching except grips which are modern replacements. Overall retains virtually all of its fine custom blue finish, appears unfired since engraving. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-35616 JR292 (3,500-5,500)
