Chambered in .32-20 Winchester Center Fire (WCF), the Model of 1905 - 3rd Change was esteemed for its versatility. The .32-20 cartridge, originally developed for rifles and adapted for handguns, gained popularity for target shooting and small game hunting due to its moderate recoil and effectiveness. The revolver features a robust double action mechanism, enabling rapid fire, and is constructed with a sturdy frame typical of Smith & Wesson's commitment to quality.
This specific model boasts a nickel finish, adding a distinctive shine and durability to its appearance. The grips are adorned with genuine pearl, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and grip comfort. Visually, these revolvers display the classic lines and charm characteristic of early 20th-century firearms, complemented by the elegant contrast of nickel and pearl.
In terms of collectibility and historical significance, the Smith & Wesson .32-20 Hand Ejector Model of 1905 - 3rd Change holds a special place. Its production numbers were relatively limited compared to later models, increasing its desirability among collectors of antique and vintage firearms. Made just before World War I, it represents a pivotal period in firearm development. This revolver, with its documented serial number and noted features, adds to its provenance and enhances its value as both a functional piece of history and a prized collectible.
