Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this limited edition double-action revolver today for a penny-start auction, this is the Smith & Wesson 14-5 “Last Stand”, also known as the K-38 Masterpiece!
"The Twelve Revolvers". In 1990, S&W manufactured a series of twelve different guns for Ellett Bros. of Chapin, South Carolina. These firearms were sold by subscription, with one gun offered each month. The guns are sequentially numbered from one to five hundred and each has an action scene engraved on the sideplate. They were created with a special theme based on the early S&W advertising paintings. Each set of twelve revolvers was delivered with a special calendar book that featured color artwork of each revolver for that month. However, S&W did not fully complete this series due to a parting of the business relationship. The number of full sets completed is unknown. The Twelve Revolvers can be found in full or broken sets.
This is the August Edition of the Twelve Revolvers named "The Last Stand", identified as 14-5. It comes with a Nickel finish, an 8 3/8" barrel, a .500" target hammer, and a .400" serrated trigger. The gun has a red post patridge front sight and an adjustable micrometer click rear sight. It is also engraved with a scene from The Last Stand and so lettered.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model K-38 Masterpiece Revolver, also referred to as the Model 14, is a six-shot, double-action revolver featuring adjustable open sights. Built on the medium-sized "K" frame, it is chambered for the .38 Special cartridge. While most variants come with a 6-inch or 8 3/8-inch barrel, some models are equipped with shorter 4-inch or 5-inch barrels. First introduced in 1947 under the name K-38 Target Masterpiece, the revolver was renamed Model 14 in 1957 when Smith & Wesson adopted numerical designations for all of its revolvers. The K-38 is built on the same K-frame as the Smith & Wesson Model 10 ("Military and Police") revolver.
