Smith N Frame Transition era .38 spl

[LtDave]

I vote for a ‘46 to ‘50 vintage transitional Outdoorsman with the barrel cut down to 4”. Front sight definitely not original or done by the factory. Bet money it has also been reamed out for .357 ammo.

Here’s my cut 1950 Model Outdoorsman for comparison. The Patridge front was reshaped into a ramp when it was remounted.

That looks like a nice shooter Tx.


The Gunbroker piece looks refinished in the #10,11 and 12 pictures. Trigger shoe is upside down and we know what kind of marks that leaves on the trigger when removed. A collector by no means. Maybe a shooter, but hard to tell without being able to handle it.
