Desirable Gutta Percha Case for a Smith & Wesson No. 1 Revolver

Manufactured by Littlefield Parsons & Co. for Smith & Wesson, this is one of only approximately 5,000 such presentation type cases produced for variations of the No. 1 pocket revolver. Due to the delicacy of gutta percha, far few of these case survive today, making them a hot commodity on the collectors market. This particular example is the first variation of the case, which features a raised image of a No. 1 revolver on the lid with the text "MANUFACTURED ONLY BY/SMITH & WESSON/SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS" above and below it. There are shields and flourishes of floral scroll in the corners and borders made up of No. 1 revolvers. The interior of the lid is lined with plum velvet. The lower portion is lined with red baize and has a cartridge block containing a selection of .22 RF cartridges.

ConditionExceptionally fine, the exterior showing an attractive, lightly aged tone with only the slightest handling/storage evidence and distinct detail. The lining of the case shows some moderate wear and fading. No antique Smith & Wesson collection is complete without a gutta percha case!
