Hi Radagast,
They only sold 41493 guns of this model over 33 years.
Meaning, the 5th Model I assume.
I wonder how many 2 Inch versions were made, within the larger 5th Model production?
Wow, that is not a lot, I would have thought they had been more popular or higher production.
Then again, earlier production Safety Hammerless still in fine condition, were probably a ubiquity and were likely enough to satisfy many people who elected to get a used one, over a new one, too I s'pose. Let alone, all the other Makes and Models of small, five shot, .38 S&W Chambering Revolvers of those days or of the wider era.
I sure wish my dad had been into old Guns!
We would go to Gun Shows now and then, in the latter 1950s, and, I remember a lot from those occasions, including how reasonable prices were ( even to my mind at the time! ).
Funny, this little Snubby, say, in 1959, was only roughly 20 years old...
...sigh...
