Excellent Smith & Wesson Model 1-1/2 "Old Model" Revolver

Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson
Model: 1 1/2
Type: Revolver
Gauge: 32 RF
Barrel: 3-1/2 inch octagon
Finish: blue/casehardened
Grip: rosewood
Stock:
Item Views: 3466
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 9
Class: Antique
Description:

Manufactured from 1865 to 1868. German silver half moon sight on the barrel rib with the two line address and patent markings. Casehardened hammer, ejector rod and spur trigger. Blue barrel frame and cylinder and varnished square butt rosewood grips. The assembly number "r1" is stamped on the face of the barrel, cylinder and grip frame. Matching serial number is stamped on the right grip stock, the screwed-in ejector on the underside, and a notch rear sight in the casehardened hammer.

Rating Definition:

Excellent plus. Over 95% of the original bright high polish blue finish remains on the barrel with light thinning along the high edge and a few isolated patches of spotting. The frame and cylinder retain 97% original blue finish with only slight high edge wear and handling marks. The casehardened components exhibit wonderful vivid original case colors. The grips are very fine, with some very light pressure marks. Hammer retracts, but does not rotate the cylinder, needs work.
