Two Smith & Wesson Revolvers

A) Smith & Wesson Fourth Model Safety Hammerless Double Action Revolver

Manufactured from 1898 to 1907. Also known as the "New Departure" or "Lemon Squeezer". Front half-moon front sight, notch rear sight which is part of the T-Bar latch, standard two line address/patent dates on top of the solid fluted barrel rib and standard S&W trademark on the right side of the frame. Fitted with checkered S&W hard rubber grips.

ConditionExcellent, with approximately 95% of the original blue finish remaining with some light to moderate flaking on the frame and cylinder. The grip safety has the strong beginnings of a smooth brown patina. There is some light corrosion around the hammer screw (right side). The grips are excellent with minimal handling marks. The checkering is crisp. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.

B) Rare Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 Second Issue Revolver with Short Barrel

Manufactured from 1868 to 1875. Features the rare 2 3/4 inch round barrel with the one line Springfield address/patent dates (ending in Nov 21, 1865) marking on the left side of the barrel instead of on the rib. Blade front sight, 5-shot fluted cylinder and bird head grips.

ConditionExcellent, with 95% of the original nickel finish remaining with flaking on the cylinder flutes and some minor flaking and some minor frosting overall. There is some minor surface oxidation on the cylinder face and breech end of the barrel. The grips are very good with most of the varnish remaining and some minor scratches and dings. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
