Manufactured from 1868 to 1881. It has the one-line address/patent date marking on the rib, a right grip panel numbered to the gun and matching assembly markings on the grip frame, cylinder and barrel. The period hardwood case contains an empty S&W No. 1 cartridge box and case key.

Excellent, retaining nearly 97% original blue finish showing some thinning to a brown. The grips are very fine with some minor handling marks and retaining most of the original finish. Mechanically excellent. The case is good with a cracked lid, numerous handling/storage marks and typical high spot wear on the lining. A rare blue "1st-3rd" in high condition with original Robinson case! Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
