Exceptional Smith & Wesson Model Number One 2nd Issue Revolver

Manufactured 1860 to 1868, this is an excellent example of the most desirable pocket pistol. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the one line address, the cylinder is marked with the 1855 and 1859 patent dates, and the serial number is marked on the butt and stamped on the inside of the right grip panel. Blue barrel, ejector and cylinder, casehardened hammer and trigger, and silver plated frame. Fitted with smooth two-piece varnished rosewood grips.

ConditionExcellent. The revolver retains 98% bright original high polish blue finish with some barely noticeable muzzle wear, visible cylinder drag line, and a few minor scratches. The frame retains 99% original silver plating which has an attractive, untouched gray appearance with some areas darkening with age. The grips are very fine with 98% original varnish. There is a minor crack in the left panel extending from the frame to the screw and overall showing some minor wear on the lower edges and a few minor dings. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.
