Smith & Wesson S&W 1913 .35 S&W Auto Excellent Condition. Rare. Collector's. US Army issue cartridge pouch. US model 1907/08 Rock Island Arsenal. Early 1900's Bucheimer revolver holster.
This M1913 is a wonderful example of S&W's first semiautomatic pistol,Perfect manual mechanics. A wonderful S&W M1913, now about 100 years old, sure to please any S&W collector or enthusiast of early design semiautomatic pistols. SN 7349.
35 Semi-Automatic Pistol (Model of 1913)
Caliber: 35 S&W Auto. Seven-shot magazine, 3½" barrel, fixed sights, blue or nickel finish, smooth plain walnut grips, eight variations, the most noteworthy is the magazine release. The original release operated from side to side with the second style operating front to back and engaging the magazine. This change occurred between serial number 3000 and 3149. This model has a grip and a manual safety, but has no magazine disconnect safety. It is marked "35 S&W AUTO CTG" on the barrel's left side with the S&W trademark on the rear of the frame above the safety slide button. Serial number range 18350
During its nine years of production, at least eight variations were produced as outlined below, and perhaps many more depending on how they are defined. A detailed discussion of these will be found in Neal & Jinks. As with many S&W changes, the serial number ranges for these types are approximate only and the ranges overlap. However, general serial number ranges as summarized from Neal & Jinks are reported below. The first pistols had a slotted recoil spring guide rod. This feature was dropped early in production; however, they show up randomly over the first 1,000 guns.
Type 1: The front safety pushes directly to the rear to fire. S/n range 1-230.
Type 2: The front safety must be pushed to the rear and to the left to fire. The change was incorporated on all guns by serial number 250. S/n range 167-1000.
Type 3: The forward safety reverts back to the original function. The change may have been completed by serial number 2000. S/n range 935-3149.
Type 4: The magazine catch was changed from side-to-side operation to front-to-back operation. This change was completed by serial number 3150. S/n range 3000- 3800.
Type 5: The location of the recoil spring retaining pin was moved from below to above the guide tunnel and was heavier. The disconnect cross bolt was enlarged. Not all of these changes took place simultaneously; however, they were all incorporated by serial number 4000. S/n range 3149-5415.
Type 6: The breech bolt assembly and the recoil spring guide tunnel were changed from round to square, the sides of the breechblock were extended downward to overlap the frame, eliminating the guide block. The changes were complete by serial number 6600. S/n range 3874-6601.
Type 7: The Smith & Wesson trademark stamping was eliminated by serial number 6600. S/n range 5914-7494.
Type 8: The ".35 S&W AUTO. CTG." markings on the left side of the barrel were moved to the right side and "SMITH & WESSON" was added to the left side. This change was completed by serial number 7500.
