I would like to trade my old (1890's-ish) Smith & Wesson break top revolver. I have heard people refer to these as "lemon squeezers". It is chambered for .38 S&W (not .38spl) and as far as I can tell it is fully functional. The grip safety works and it's a clean little gun, but I have not personally fired it.

The only problem is that a previous owner engraved the letter "E" on the side. According to the guy I got it from, it was there when his dad go the gun over 50yrs ago.

SOLD!!!

What part of the world are you in?

Doh!!! I always forget something...I am in Plano.

PM sent.

For those of you who know Marty, the Reloading Wizard, you have to know he saw this and said "Ooooh, a gun to load .38 S&W for!" Yes, I DO think we have a problem...

What can you provide as to its mechanical condition?

I would want to be able to shoot it occasionally.

Well, as I mentioned, I haven't personally fired it, but as far as I can tell it is in good shape for a gun that is 110+ years old. My neighbor, who knows far more about guns than I do, looked it over and said he thought it was fine to shoot too. I don't think I wouldn't put any real hot loads through it though. Cheaper than dirt sells .38 S&W for $19/box...of course if you happen to be a "reloading wizard" then it would be much cheaper!

I had a trade pending, but it looks like it won't work due to distance.

Still available!

$200 obo
