The frame is fitted with checkered black hard rubber grips featuring the Smith & Wesson S&W monogram. The barrel is extensively marked on the left side with 32 WINCHESTER CTG flanked by Maltese crosses. The top of the barrel displays a two-line patent string: SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A.

The serial number 6986 is clearly stamped on the bottom of the grip frame. The revolver is being sold for parts only as the cylinder occasionally fails to open. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The revolver is in poor to fair condition, showing an overall lack of original finish with a dark, mottled patina and significant oxidation and pitting on the barrel, frame, and cylinder. The hard rubber grips show smoothing to the checkering and handling marks, but remain intact without major cracks visible. The bore condition was not inspected. Mechanically, the action appears to function, but the cylinder release and swing-out mechanism are compromised and fail to open consistently. Sold strictly for parts or repair.
