    WTB: Smith & Wesson Model 52 Instructions

    Help? A good friend is in need of a copy of the instructions which came with the Model 52 .38 S&W Special Mid-Range semi-auto pistol. As I have one, he asked me for a copy, and after due search (finding everything, but ) it dawned on me that I purchased mine (in 1975) quite used, with no box, manual, or other goodies. Now I feel terrible, and my (still living) friends who had &/or have a Model 52 all, like me, got their's quite used with no papers.
    PLEASE -- if you have these instructions, and might make me either a scan, or photocopy headed my way, I'll not only be appreciative, but happy that I'm able to do a friend a favor. (And, I'll be more than happy to reimburse your costs)!

    PM me if you can/will help? I can then give my "real" email if you have a copy you're scanning; &/or street address if you wish to use USPS.

    (For some reason, all the sources I know of on Internet -- including Steve's Pages -- seem NOT to have the instruction sheet for this most popular pistol???)

    Thanks in advance!Click image for larger version.

    Here are some disassembly/assembly instructions, with diagrams.

    The last post of this thread includes a PDF of the original S&W user manual.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, kind sir! A good friend had asked for a copy of mine, who I quickly replied in the affirmative, then remembering I purchased the pistol in a private sale sand box, paperwork, etc. way back in 1975! I have several friends also with 52s, but they also apparently purchased their pistols used sans paperwork. And, as stated, *my" Googling came up with zero results.
    My friend will be most appreciative, I am certain, as will I, with the URLs you kindly provided!
    As you most kindly answered my quest, I will close this thread -- with one more heart-felt thank you!
