Manufactured between 1893 and 1905 with a total production of only 1,251, and just an estimated 229 in the 32 S&W caliber. This unusual pistol combines the frame of a 38 single action 3rd Model with a single shot barrel. This pistol is a top break and functions exactly as a revolver does. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the two line, two block address/patent dates with "MODEL OF 91" in the center and the serial number is marked on the front strap. The left rear of the barrel is marked with a single London provisional proof mark. All nickel finish with a casehardened hammer and trigger guard, and polished trigger. Fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the "S&W" logo in a circle at the top. The pair come in a wooden case with tan suede lining. In the case are two cleaning brushes and a brass screwdriver.

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% original nickel finish with some wear and finish loss on the left front of the barrel, and a few light dings and scratches. The trigger guard shows some muted original case colors mixed with a smooth dove gray patina. The hammer retains 85% original case colors. The grips are also excellent with some minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are sharp. The action is fine.

Described in "A", but with two Birmingham provisional proofs on the right side, one on the barrel lug and one on the frame, and the small "S&W" logo on the right rear of the frame.

Excellent. The pistol retains 97% original nickel finish showing some scattered minor flaking, some muzzle wear and a few light scratches. There are areas that are beginning to frost.

The grips are also excellent with some fading to brown, a few minor handling marks and crisp checkering.
