WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Smith & Wesson Model 10-6 revolver
Built on a steel frame with a blued finish, this Model 10-6 uses a traditional double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger system with an exposed-spur hammer. The hammer and trigger show mottled coloration consistent with case-coloring.
The revolver wears fixed sights, using a fixed front blade/ramp-style front sight and a fixed rear notch integral to the topstrap. This configuration keeps the sight picture simple and durable, matching the Model 10-6's straightforward service revolver layout.
Markings include "38 S.&W. SPECIAL CTG." on the barrel and right-side frame text reading "MADE IN U.S.A." / "MARCAS REGISTRADAS" / "SMITH & WESSON" / "SPRINGFIELD, MASS." The serial number is in the C-prefix range (C603632), with an additional stamped number in the crane/yoke area: 00299.
The 4 inch steel barrel and 6-round fluted swing-out cylinder keep it in a classic full-size format for the Model 10-6. It is a U.S.-made Smith & Wesson revolver that clearly presents its model marking, caliber designation, and period-correct features.
