Description
Smith & Wesson Prewar K-Frame Service Stocks
These Smith & Wesson Prewar K-Frame Service Stocks are original factory square-butt walnut revolver grips with checkered panels, small silver S&W medallions, and the early diamond escutcheon pattern around the grip screw. The interior is factory numbered 719812, placing the associated revolver number in the likely circa 1940 prewar production range.
Smith & Wesson Prewar K-Frame Square Butt Checkered Diamond Stocks
These stocks have the early K-frame square-butt service / Magna-style profile, with high wood at the upper rear of the frame and the long curved checkering border below the medallions commonly associated with prewar Smith & Wesson K-frame stocks. They are a correct period-style grip set for prewar K-frame square-butt revolvers and are much scarcer than ordinary postwar K-frame diamond stocks.
Construction / Configuration / Pattern
The stocks are walnut with factory bordered checkering, smooth upper panels, silver-tone S&W medallions, and an uncheckered diamond around the grip-screw escutcheon. The original grip screw is included.
The interior of one panel is stamped 719812. This factory serial-numbered detail is one of the strongest collector features of the set and helps support the prewar identification. The profile, checkering layout, medallions, and serial stamping are consistent with prewar Smith & Wesson K-frame square-butt service stocks.
Historical Context / Pattern Development
Smith & Wesson’s early K-frame stocks went through several profile and construction changes before the more familiar postwar service and Magna patterns became standardized. Prewar K-frame checkered diamond stocks are identified by their early profile, silver medallions, diamond escutcheon, and longer curved checkering border below the medallion area.
The serial number 719812 falls in the late prewar production range, making circa 1940 a reasonable period attribution. Stocks from this period are especially desirable to collectors restoring or completing prewar Military & Police and related K-frame revolvers.
Condition
Good used vintage condition. The pair remains intact with both S&W medallions present, original checkering still clearly visible, and no obvious major cracks or missing wood. The stocks show honest age and handling wear, including finish loss, edge wear, small marks, and flattening or softening to portions of the checkering. The interior surfaces show normal installation wear, age staining, and residue. The factory serial stamping 719812 remains visible.
