(M) Lot of 2: S&W Consecutive Numbered Model 520 DA Revolvers (Boxed).

Lot # 49 (Sale Order: 49 of 678)      

In 1980 Smith & Wesson produced one of their greatest, more recent collectibles, albeit unknowingly. In May of 1980, the New York State Police Department placed an order for a large butt fixed sight .357 Magnum. Smith & Wesson produced the order but the Police Department never took delivery so Smith & Wesson was stuck with 3000 already made guns and offered them to dealers. These guns featured square butt, N frame, three screw, six shot with fixed sights, pinned barrels, recessed cylinders and .357 caliber; making it the only .357 Magnum to that point on the N frame without target sights. The serial number range was N557750-N560860. These revolvers have consecutive serial numbers and include the original blue numbered boxes. Both have silver medallion grips with case colored hammer and trigger. Revolvers show slight cylinder drag line but remain in as new condition inside and out. Both right grip panels are stamped with serial numbers; No. 218 is stamped “559910” and No. 217 is stamped “560402”. It is a well-known fact that these grips were put on with no attempt to match numbers and we have never seen a single example where the numbers matched. This was a topic of discussion during last years Smith & Wesson Collectors Convention. Given the small run, this pair would make a fine investment for the future, as the popularity of N frame Smith & Wesson continues to grow.Accessories: Boxes, cleaning tools and manualsBarrel Length: (A) 4" (B) 4"Caliber/Bore: (A) .357 Magnum (B) .357 MagnumFFL Status: ModernManufacturer: Smith & WessonModel: 520Paperwork: No Serial Number: (A) N560217 (B) N560218 Condition: Dimensions:

(C) Lot of 2: Historic Consecutively Numbered S&W Hand Ejector Model M&P 2" DA Revolvers.

Lot # 50 (Sale Order: 50 of 678)      

Both revolvers feature blued finish, six shot, double action, and case colored hammer and triggers. Revolvers have matching serial numbers on frame, barrel and cylinder. One has Smith & Wesson hard rubber grips, while the other has Smith & Wesson checkered walnut grips, not numbered to the gun. Grips on both revolvers are near mint. Smith & Wesson factory letter on No. 694106 lists this gun in it's present condition; shipped on August 7, 1940, as a .38 Model 1905 fourth change, 2" barrel, shipped to Boston Police Department ballistic unit, attention Sergeant Edward J. Seibolt. The back strap is stamped "B.P.D. 118 M". Serial No. 694105 was shipped from the factory August 24, 1946, delivered to Lou Eppinger of Detroit, Michigan. The letter does not list any specifications. No mention of barrel length, finish or grips. An article by Mike Priwer in the Smith & Wesson Journal of Autumn 1993 discuses serial No. 694105 and pictures the gun with 2" barrel, round butt and rubber grips and all matching numbers. On this revolver the matching serial number is scratched on the inside of the left grip, as can be seen in the article. Article believes this revolver was made in 1938 or 1939, though it was not shipped until 1946. As to condition, No. 694105 retains approximately 85% total factory original blue with most of the wear of rear grip strip, which has turned a blue-grey patina and wear to cylinder approximately 30%, which is blending with gun metal gray. Serial No. 694106 displays approximately 75% original blue with most of the wear in the same areas and a touch more wear on the top strap. If this was not interesting enough, an article by Roy Jinks also deals with No. 694105, showing a strange marking on left trigger guard. Roy found this revolver was shipped on September 20, 1940 to the Norwegian Air Force in Canada; one of 625 revolvers. How this revolver was shipped twice from factory and has the Norwegian stamp remains a mystery still to be uncovered. Arguably one of the more interesting pair of consecutive number revolvers.Accessories: NoneBarrel Length: (A) 2" (B) 2"Caliber/Bore: (A) .38 Special (B) .38 SpecialFFL Status: Curio & RelicManufacturer: Smith & WessonModel: (A) Hand Ejector (B) Hand EjectorPaperwork: YesSerial Number: (A) 694105 (B) 694106.
