Atlas Collectible Firearms is proud to present this Masterfully Hand Engraved 1949 Smith & Wesson Pre-Model 10 revolver chambered in .38 Special. This historic "5-Screw" .38 Military & Police Hand Ejector features a 2-inch barrel and is built on the classic square-butt K-frame. The firearm showcases exquisite, very early master hand engraving with full-coverage scrollwork that covers the frame, barrel, and cylinder. The rich custom polished blue finish serves as a deep, high-contrast canvas for this timeless hand-cut artistry.
The revolver is uniquely fitted with a very rare set of Real Hand Carved Early Elephant Ivory grips. These one-of-a-kind grips feature a detailed Hand Carved Dragon theme, providing a striking and highly customized aesthetic that makes this piece truly stand out. The revolver is also fitted with a serrated wide target hammer and trigger. To complete this museum-quality presentation, the firearm is housed in a Custom Deluxe Display Case. This configuration represents the pinnacle of post-war Smith & Wesson customization, combining mechanical precision with legendary craftsmanship.
The overall condition of this Pre-Model 10 is exceptional collector grade, showing minimal to no signs of handling or use since the custom engraving and grip work were completed. The mechanics are excellent, functioning with the legendary smoothness of a vintage S&W, and the bore remains pristine. This is a singular investment-grade opportunity to acquire a uniquely embellished early K-frame that balances mid-century firearms history with masterful artistic execution.
