This First Model Ladysmith revolver was manufactured between 1902 and 1906 and features the small round cylinder release on the left side of the frame, blade and notch sights, standard two line address/patent dates marked on top of the barrel, "22 S&W CTG." flanked by Maltese crosses on the left side and the S&W logo on the left side of the frame. Blue finish with casehardened trigger and hammer and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with "S&W" logo at the top. Comes with a correct original brown hinged lid box with correct end label.

Very fine. The revolver retains 90% plus strong original blue finish with some muzzle and high edge wear and scattered minor thinning. The hammer and trigger retain almost all of the original bright case colors. The grips are excellent with a few tiny dings and crisp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent. The box is good with some edge wear, lose of material on the exterior and some staining on the interior.
