The Model 64 is the stainless-steel version of the famous Model 10. The “No Dash” variation also retains the same tapered barrel as its blued predecessor. Later versions of the 64 use the heavy barrel also used on current variations of the Model 10. The Model 64 features a 4” barrel, square-butt 3-screw K-frame, checkered Magna style walnut grips with S&W medallions, .265” serrated trigger and hammer, 1/8” ramp front sight, and square notch rear sight. It can be argued that with respect to fixed-sight, 6-shot .38 special revolvers, the Model 64 is the pinnacle of the S&W line that started back at the end of the 19^th Century with the “.38 Military, Model 1899”. The stainless-steel finish provides greater resistance to rust than the bluing on the original Model 10. The only notable issue here with this 64 is that the barrel pin seems to be partly missing. Part of the pin is still present on the right side of the frame but on the left it has disappeared. The pin is still long enough to prevent the barrel from rotating. A spare barrel pin could still be found of course. Making a new one would not be difficult either. The bore is in excellent condition and is very clean, while the front of the cylinder has a moderate level of powder burns. Thanks to its rugged reliability and greater resistance to wear, the Model 64 makes an excellent medium frame defensive revolver.
