Cased Pair of Engraved Smith & Wesson K-38 Target Masterpiece Revolvers - 351B

This is the second factory Smith & Wesson K-38 Masterpiece revolver included in this lot as described in A. As in A, this revolver is accompanied with a copy of a factory letter from Smith & Wesson historian Roy G. Jinks. Jinks confirms that the revolver was engraved by Russell Smith and that the Class A engraving shows the early characteristics of Russ Smith's work as he moved away from the style established by Harry Jarvis. Jinks states that the factory records confirm the blue finish, target hammer and trigger, smooth rosewood target stocks, red post front sight, and Class A engraving. The included factory letter also confirms the type of grips, finish and engraving and shipment information provided in A and gives a brief history of the K-38 Masterpiece revolver.
