This was the first Smith & Wesson top break, automatic ejecting revolver made in 32 centerfire cartridge and was manufactured between 1878 and 1892. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the two line address/patent dates, as well as the patent dates marked on the top strap. Pinned front and notch rear sights, all nickel finish with casehardened hammer and trigger, and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with patent date marking on the lower left panel and the S&W logo at the top. Complete in maroon hinged lid box.

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% original nickel finish with scattered speckled flaking on the frame and light scratches overall. Virtually all of the bright original case colors remain on the hammer. The grips are excellent also with only light handling marks and crisp checkering. Sharp markings. Excellent mechanically. The box is good with one end flap on the lid absent and some edge and corner wear.

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% original nickel finish with scattered minor flaking and scattered minor scratches. The backstrap is worn in a small area on the butt base.
