A) S&W No. 1-1/2 Revolver with Box and Extra Grips

Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson
Model: 32 Single Action
Type: Revolver
Gauge: 32 S&W
Barrel: 3 inch solid rib
Finish: nickel
Grip: antique ivory
Stock:
Item Views: 1168
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 135
Class: Antique
Description:

This attractive spur trigger revolver has the full range of patent dates marked on the top of the rib and top strap and the strain screw on the front strap. All of the serial numbers match. It has the standard half-moon front and notch rear sights. The grips are numbered to an earlier revolver and includes an additional set of unmarked checkered hard rubber grips. It also includes a hinged lid factory box with "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" on the inside of the lid.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 95% plus of the original nickel with some light scratches, very light pitting on the right side of the frame, and some light spotting. The hammer retains dark case colors, and nearly all of the blue remains on the latch and spur trigger. Mechanically excellent with clear markings. Both sets of grips are also very fine. The box is good with typical storage/shelf wear and stains from age.

Item Views: 1168
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 135
Class: Antique
Description:

This attractive spur trigger revolver is an early example of the Model 1-1/2 with the patent dates ending in 1871 on the top of the rib. All of the serial numbers match. It has the standard half-moon front and notch rear sights. It comes in a wooden case with "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" adhered to the inside of the lid and a fitted purple velvet interior.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 90% plus of the original nickel plated finish with some dark spotting, light scratches, and a drag line on the cylinder. The latch and trigger retain nearly all of the original blue finish. Case colors remain on the hammer. The grips are very good with some slight marks. The action is functional but the cylinder rotates freely when the hammer is not cocked. All markings are clear. The custom case is very good with some small repairs, light wear, and cracking/tears on the lid label.
