Hey, found this in a pawn shop for $450.
The fuck is it, and is it worth it?
>>30293008
It's a pocket pistol and probably not. The timing is probably shit.
>>30293008
kinda looks like a Schofield. Kinda.
where the fuck is the trigger?
>>30293032
I'm fairly sure it's a Smith and Wesson, judging by the S&W on the upper part of the grips.
And the trigger is the little nub on the bottom of it. It's a break top revolver.
>>30293008
probably worth about $200
>>30293008
not worth it.
top break s&w? nope.
>>30293069
if it works perfectly and is chambered in a findable caliber.
>>30293032
Please tell me you are joking about the trigger.
As for the gun, could be any S&W knockoff Saturday night special. Aside from the sheathed trigger it looks exactly like a top break "U.S. Revolver Company" .38 we found in my grandmother's nightstand after she died.
Then again could actually be something but I'm betting no.
Second model spur trigger. Possibly .32?
Also possibly a counterfeit, but you'd need a Smiff expert to tell you about that.

Did a little more digging, looks like a Model 2 Second revision. Somewhere betweeen 1878 and 1890.
Here's a pic of the one on Wikipedia.
>>30293053
It's not a Smith&Wesson, wrong logo. There were multiple S&Ws making guns. Some capitalised on the similarity in names and copied Smith&Wesson designs.
>>30293032
your a fucking loser if you dont know where the trigger is, i hope you're trolling.
>>30293053
S&W has never used a plain script like that on their revolvers as far as I have seen. Even old Model 3's had the S over W logo we always see.
>>30293103
Check the logo on the grips. They could've been replaced or like >>30293107 pointed out a copy. Belgium and Spain were particularly notable for doing this during that period.
So it appears it is a copy, but I can't quite tell which clone manuf built it.
It might be a baby russian.
>>30293179
Doesn't matter, it's worth $150 tops.
>>30293168
>>30293179
You are indeed correct...Hmm...
Regardless, I won't be buying it. And it's kind of a drive, so I doubt I'll ever know, one way or the other. Thanks for the info guys.
On a mildly related note, a Gander Mountain near me has a fairly dirty, but mechanically sound model 29-2 stainless in .357, 4" barrel, for $350. Thoughts?
>>30293212
It seems that it may not be a clone. Very weird, because I've never seen this version of the S&W logo.
>>30293209
If they made em in blued, then maybe? What's it worth, though?
>>30293217
That is a better deal.
>>30293069
you called it.

those are early smith and wesson grips.

NEVER BUY A GUN THERE
>>30293229
it's not blued, the chrome is just worn off.
>>30293295
I've had great luck in pawn shops.
Found a pristine Pre-64 Model 1894 Winchest for $600 in a pawn shop.

>>30293295
Any time I visit family in bumfuck nowhere I always check pawn shops. They're the least likely to actually know what they have.
>>30293032
wherever could it be
>>30295118
total noob noguns here. i'm gonna guess that it's hidden and appears from that bottom nub after the hammer is cocked.
It's a .38 S&W(not spl) SA S&W Baby Russian 1st mod. ~25 000 of these were made between 1876 and 1877, but the 1st model were used by law enforcement even as late as 1917. The model 2 was in production untill 1911.
Note: This is a blackpowder gun, do not use cartridges loaded with smokeless powder unless it's a weak load. I doubt the gun would "blow up" if you did use smokeless, but it would deteriorate pretty fast.
Also, you did get it for an OK price. There are people demanding ~600-~800 $ for these nowadays.
