The Development of the SMITH & WESSON Revolver 

 "CAP AND BALL" 



REVOLVERS 



The Man With a "Cap and Ball" 



in the early days of its general use, had everything his 

 own way. Improvements gradually gave certain makes 

 the advantage and today 



The Man with a SMITH & WESSON 



has an instantaneous defense that shoots further and surer 

 than any other revolver. Every SMITH & WESSON is 

 a tested assemblage of tested parts. The difference in price 

 is small — in results it may mean your life or your death. 



Military Models of 1902, 1905 



are identical except in the shape of the handle, and both are pro- 

 vided with front cylinder lock. This front lock is used in connec- 

 tion with the regular locking pin and is operated by the same thumb- 

 piece, making the most perfect locking mechanism ever used in thi3 

 type of arm. The construction of this front lock is such that all 

 wear is automatically overcome, and this feature, in connection with 

 the hardened tool steel bushings in frame and cylinder, makes pos- 

 sible closer joints with less friction. The alignment of cylinder 

 and barrel is also absolutely assured by this double locking. The 

 wonderful accuracy of this model has made it the preferred revolver 

 by every modern government. 



ALL SMITH & 

 WESSON Revolvers 

 have this Monogram 

 trade -mark stamped 

 on the frame. None 

 others are genuine.
