Manufactured from 1868 to 1875 this is an excellent example of a Model 1 1/2, 2nd Issue revolver. The top of the barrel rib has the one line address/patent dates (1855, 1859 and 1865) marking. It has a five shot fluted cylinder, casehardened trigger, hammer and ejector rod and smooth bird head rosewood grips. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun.

Excellent. The revolver retains 95% original high polish blue finish slightly thinning to a brown patina on the high points. The trigger, hammer and ejector rod retain 70% original deep case colors. The screw heads still exhibit much of their handsome niter blue finish. The grips are excellent with a few minor handling marks and most of the original varnish. Mechanically excellent. A top 5% example of a widly populare S&W tip-up revolver!
