Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The S&W Model 61 is a blowback-operated pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle based upon the Bayard 1908 (Pieper Bayard) pistol. It was marketed for self-defense to fill a void in the pocket auto market after the banning of importation of small, concealable handguns. The pistol was available in blued or nickel-plated finishes and black or white plastic grip panels.
In September of 1970 a barrel bushing (or barrel nut) was added to the end of the barrel to more precisely position it in the frame, thus manufacturing the 61-2. Previous barrels had been press-fitted into the frame and could not be removed. Serial numbers for the Model 61-2 ran from B9851 to B40000, with a total of 30150 being manufactured. In total, approximately 65,000 Model 61's were produced.
Contents:
This example will ship with the S&W box, original zippered S&W pouch, and all other contents seen in the many photos above! The condition is what we consider to be Excellent showing no evidence of regular consumer use or handling that we can see.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
