If that revolver has not been shot, where did the wear on the extractor rod come from, and why are the points on the checkering of the stocks not sharp?
Maybe it has been shot, not by me, but if it was by the original owner, who I understood to have been an 'accumulator' of Smiths for many years, it's hard to find evidence of. If he did shoot it, he did so rarely. There's a turn line on the cylinder, but after years of handling, empty cylinder cycling/dry firing, it can happen. As to the stocks, well the picture isn't great, but in real life they look brand new. I bought the gun at a store that was selling many guns from this elderly gent and it didn't have a box, so there's no telling how it was stored since 1949. It doesn't matter to me, I simply thought I'd have some fun with an old, very nice example of a 1949 Smith & Wesson. I hope I wasn't too misleading for you in my description!
