| Extremely RARE Smith & Wesson Aircrewman .38 Military Revolver. Stock # MSH152308SP. Serial # C365xxx. Intended for USAF survival use for air crewmen, this Smith & Wesson 2” double-action .38 Special is of all aluminum construction, including the cylinder. While this was a great concept, it was found that unless extremely light .38 loads were used, the pistol had a proclivity to blow up when it was fired – hence, most of these guns were destroyed, and surviving examples are VERY RARE and highly collectible. The pistol is marked on the top strap “Revolver, Lightweight, M13”. It is quite possible that this pistol was liberated from military service, as it should also be marked “United States Property,” and this marking has been removed (this could also be a “lunch box” gun, who knows??). Otherwise the pistol is in excellent condition, it appears to be unfired with a mint bore, and the factory grips both rate 98%+ condition. Finish condition is 90%, only because some of the finish has worn off the backstrap, exposing the aluminum, otherwise the finish is excellent. This is a rare gem for the advanced Collector, and it is an investment-grade collectible as well. We anticipate rapid sale of this rare revolver. . jacksonarmorypower!
