The Holy Grail of Post-War K-Frames: A Documented Piece of Marine Corps Marksmanship History

Serious Smith & Wesson collectors, this is an investment-grade, historically significant 1958 Pre-Model 14 K-38 Target Masterpiece (.38 Special) with ironclad, factory-confirmed provenance.

Purchased brand new in 1958 from the original owner at the legendary Quantico, Virginia Marine Corps Base, this revolver has had its incredible history officially verified and documented by Smith & Wesson. Quantico is the historic epicenter of USMC marksmanship, and this revolver stands as a physical testament to that legacy.

:sparkles: THE HIGHLIGHTS:

**• The Frame:** Highly desirable "Pre-Model 14" with a blank crane, dating right to the golden era of S&W craftsmanship. The action is buttery smooth, the lockup is bank-vault tight, and the target trigger breaks like glass with its factory anti-backlash stop.

**• The Provenance:** Fully vetted and confirmed by Smith & Wesson. The physical documentation is included in the sale, completely validating its 1958 shipment to Quantico and eliminating any "buy the story" risk.

**• The Grips:** A stunning, ultra-rare **"His and Hers" matching set** of original walnut checkered diamond target stocks. They are in very good condition with sharp checkering and minimal wear, perfectly complementing the historic nature of this package.

**• Sights & Optics:** Currently fitted with a **Weaver rail** for easy optics mounting. Crucially, the **original factory target rear sight is included in the sale**, allowing you to easily return it to its 100% original, as-shipped configuration.
