Smith & Wesson U.S. M13 K frame with "C" serial number prefix featuring a back strap only stamped "U.S." and a top strap stamped "REVOLVER, LIGHTWEIGHT, M13." Frames are being sold as collectors pieces only and are not for firing. Frames will have some minor damage. Barrels still in working order. The serial number correctly falls into the noted serial number range (C247000-C405363) of USAF M13s manufactured from 1952 to 1957. These revolvers were destroyed en masse after being retired from service. Although these frame lack the usual U.S. Air Force of property markings, these "U.S." back strap marked examples have been identified as being correct USAF contract guns and are considered an extremely scarce variation to an already rare U.S. S&W model revolver. The left side of the frame is stamped with a letter "P" above the trigger guard. The sides of the barrel have the standard S&W markings. See pictures for more information. Frame would make a great addition to any Smith & Wesson collection. ONLY 2 AVAILABLE
