Sights / Optics: The revolver has a fixed serrated ramp front sight and a square-notch frame-integral rear sight.

Stock Configuration & Condition: Goncalo alves checkered grips with Smith & Wesson medallions. The grips show minor handling marks and finish wear but remain free from cracks or significant damage. Checkering is generally sharp with slight smoothing at high-contact areas.

Type of Finish: Blued

Finish Originality: Original

Bore Condition: The bore is bright, the rifling is sharp. There is no visible erosion in the bore but there is stubborn fouling throughout. In this writer’s opinion, the bore rates 9/10.

Overall Condition: This revolver retains approximately 90% of its original finish. There is light finish loss on the crane arm and around the muzzle. The leading edges and high points exhibit additional thinning from holster wear and general handling. Overall, the revolver presents well with typical carry and handling marks consistent with its age and use.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. Cylinder lockup is tight with smooth double-action pull and crisp single-action trigger. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None included.

Our Assessment: The Smith & Wesson Model 10-6 is a highly regarded double-action revolver, popular among law enforcement and civilian shooters alike for decades due to its reliability, simplicity, and ease of use. Chambered in the versatile and practical .38 Special cartridge, this revolver remains a classic choice for target shooting, home defense, and collecting purposes.

This particular example retains approximately 90% of its original blued finish with expected wear concentrated at leading edges, muzzle, and crane arm. Featuring attractive Goncalo alves grips with Smith & Wesson medallions, it balances practicality with aesthetic appeal. With a bore rating of 9/10, this revolver remains highly shootable while retaining collectible value.

Ideal for collectors, shooters, and enthusiasts of classic revolvers, this S&W Model 10-6 would be an excellent addition to any firearms collection.
