This revolver is a "Second Issue" manufactured between 1860-1868. The revolver has German silver blade front sight, "SMITH & WESSON. SPRINGFIELD. MASS." on top of the barrel, patent marking on the cylinder, notch rear sight, matching serial numbers on the butt and inside the right grip panel, and assembly markings "07" marked on various components. Included is a factory gutta percha case which features the "Stand of Flags" motif on the lid and the 56 cartridge block on the purple interior. Approximately 5,000 of these cases, which were produced by Littlefield, Parsons & Co., were shipped with the No. 1 First and Second Issue revolvers. Provenance: The Cam & Deb Cooper Collection

Very fine, retaining 85% original blue finish on the barrel with wear at the muzzle and some spotting, 95% original silver finish on the frame with some edge wear, and 50% original blue mixed with brown patina on the cylinder. Aside from the repair on the right panel the grips are fine with light edge wear/chipping. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with a chip in one corner, a faded interior with some tears, and strong definition in the design.
