My great aunt asked me to find out some info about an old gun she has. All she knows is that she got it in a box of her mother's stuff when she passed away years ago. Here is what it looks like:    It is a Smith & Wesson break action, 5-shot revolver. There is a S&W symbol at the top of the black grip. There is no model number or caliber anywhere to be found. Printed on the butt of the gun is "91649". A 9mm bullet fits perfectly. On the top of the barrel in small print it says: "SMITH&WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS.U.S.A. PAT'D JAN 17& 24. 65. JULY 11.65. AUG 24. 69. JULY 25. 71. DEC 2. 79. MAY 11&25. 1880" The barrel is a little over 3 inches long. Any info on the model, year, or any other facts would be appreciated. |
If the inside of the barrel looks like the outside, or if the lockwork does, there really is no point. I would be shocked if the springs are still good. |
The Schofield is single action and that one is double action for starters. The Schofield is a large frame as well. |
