Manufactured from 1878 to 1892 this example has pearl grips. Nickel finish with pinned front sight and notch rear sight on the latch. The two line address patent date marking is stamped on top of the barrel rib and V-shaped patent markings on the top strap. Matching serial number also on the butt, cylinder, latch and barrel. The original factory varnished mahogany partitioned case has a S&W directions label on the inside of the lid. The case also holds a steel cleaning rod.

Excellent plus. The revolver retains 99% plus original nickel finish showing extremely limited light flaking. The hammer retains 97% original case colors. The grips are also excellent with an attractive color. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with a repairable crack at the bottom right corner, locking latch missing and high spot wear on the interior. Most of the factory label remains.
