Smith & Wesson Model 19 Revolver with Pearl-Style Grips

This is a vintage double-action revolver, most likely a Smith & Wesson Model 19 or similar K-frame model. The firearm features a high-polish nickel or stainless steel finish and is equipped with a six-round fluted cylinder and a full underlug barrel, approximately 6 inches in length. A notable aesthetic feature is the aftermarket or custom mother-of-pearl (or iridescent synthetic) grip panels, which show a distinct pearlescent luster. The frame displays the Smith & Wesson trademark logo stamped on the sideplate. It is fitted with an adjustable rear sight and a ramp front sight. The finish appears to be in good to very good condition with some visible micro-scratching and light patina typical of age. There is a visible turn line on the cylinder, indicating mechanical operation. This style of revolver was highly popular in the mid-to-late 20th century (circa 1950s-1980s). The craftsmanship reflects the high-quality standards of the Smith & Wesson brand, known for smooth triggers and precision timing. The overall presentation suggests a well-maintained piece, potentially used for target shooting or as a collector's display item.
