Manufactured between 1870 and 1872 with a total production of approximately 8,000. "SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A. PAT. JULY 10. 60. JAN. 17. FEB. 17. JULY 11. 65 & AUG. 24. 69" is marked on top of the barrel rib flanked by Maltese crosses. The serial number is marked on the butt and the matching assembly number, "191" is marked on the rear cylinder face, latch and barrel. The inside of the right grip panel is numbered to the gun. Pinned blade front and notch rear sights, blue finish with casehardened hammer and trigger guard, and fitted with smooth walnut grips.

Fine. The revolver retains 40% plus original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance. There is some very scattered minor pitting. Traces of original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are very good showing some minor handling marks (mostly on the bottoms). Mechanically fine.
