Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Tracing its illustrious lineage directly back to the iconic .38 Hand Ejector of 1899, the Smith & Wesson Model 10 Military & Police stands as the single most produced and successful double-action wheelgun in firearms history. Built around S&W's legendary medium "K-Frame" architecture, the Model 10 served as the standard-issue sidearm for countless American law enforcement agencies, military units, and security forces across global battlefields and municipal beats for nearly a century. The Model 10-5 engineering revision, manufactured between 1962 and 1977, represented the classic tapered-barrel iteration of the platform before S&W transitioned permanently to heavy barrel profiles. Featuring a 4-inch slender pencil barrel, fixed sights, case-hardened hammer and trigger controls, and a high-polish blued carbon steel frame, the 10-5 embodies the peak aesthetic and mechanical refinement of Springfield's golden-era law enforcement revolvers.
This specific example is an extraordinary, factory-boxed Smith & Wesson Model 10-5 Military & Police revolver bearing serial number D904989, manufactured circa 1976–1977. Chambered in .38 S&W Special, it features a 4-inch tapered steel barrel, serrated half-moon front sight blade, color case-hardened service trigger and hammer, and factory checkered walnut Magna service grips displaying gold S&W medallions. The original factory royal blue finish remains in breathtaking, near-mint condition, showing high polish coverage w/ virtually no holstering wear or handling marks. The frame cut retains crisp, deep stampings clearly displaying the "MOD. 10-5" designation, while the buttstock frame displays matching serial "D904989". Mechanically, the cylinder lockup is bank-vault tight, timing is flawless, the DA/SA trigger breaks w/ target-grade crispness, and the 4-inch bore remains mirror-bright w/ razor-sharp rifling throughout. Offered complete in its original factory blue 2-piece box w/ matching serial-numbered end label ("10-5 B 4 S D904989"), this Model 10-5 offers an investment-grade presentation for Smith & Wesson collectors and vintage revolver purists.
