Approximately 4,575 of these 1st Model revolvers were manufactured between 1902 and 1906. They were primarily made as a defensive weapon for women. Fixed sights, with the two-line address/patent dates flanked by Maltese crosses on top of the barrel, one-line caliber marking on the left side and the small Smith & Wesson logo on the left side of the frame. Fitted with the distinctive checkered circular cylinder latch on the left side of the frame, a pinned barrel, 7-round fluted cylinder, casehardened hammer and trigger, and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with a diamond pattern around the screw and "S&W" in a circle at the top. Complete with correct factory hinged brown box numbered to the gun.

Excellent plus overall. The revolver retains over 99% original nickel finish with some minor scratches and a minor cylinder drag line. The grips have a few light handling marks with crisp checkering. The box is also excellent with some very scattered minor wear.
