Lot 1101:
Secret Service Special Double-Action Hammerless Revolver .32 S&W
Description
This lot features a single top-break revolver chambered for .32 Smith & Wesson cartridges. The firearm utilizes a double-action hammerless mechanism, a configuration often referred to as a “New Departure” or “Safety Hammerless” style, intended for concealed carry. It is equipped with a 3 inch barrel featuring a fixed blade front sight and a notched rear sight integrated into the top latch assembly. The revolver is fitted with checkered black hard rubber grips that include a circular emblem at the top and floral ornamentation around the grip screw. Key markings include the model designation “SECRET SERVICE SPECIAL” on the left side of the barrel and the caliber specification “FOR 32 SMITH & WESSON CTGS” on the top rib. The bottom of the grip frame is stamped with the serial number 87117. The cylinder is configured to hold five rounds. While this model is based on 19th-century designs, the exact production date has not been conclusively established through available serial number records; therefore, the firearm is being sold as a modern cartridge firearm. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The original blued finish shows significant thinning across the frame and barrel. Widespread surface oxidation, freckling, and areas of pitting are present, most notably on the barrel assembly and cylinder. The checkered hard rubber grips are intact with minor handling wear and no visible cracks. The bore condition was not inspected and the mechanical function of the double-action trigger and top-break latch has not been independently verified.
