Exceptionally Fine Smith & Wesson Model Number One 2nd Issue Revolver with Rare Gutta Percha Case

Manufactured from 1860 to 1868. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun, and matching assembly marks are on the grip frame, cylinder, and barrel. The desirable S&W Gutta Percha "pistol "case is for a No. 1 revolver and is designed to hold a Smith & Wesson No. 1 revolver, a cleaning rod, and 56 cartridges. The exterior has the likeness of a No. 1 First Issue, several smaller renditions of the same as borders, scroll designs, and "MANUFACTURED ONLY BY/SMITH & WESSON,/SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS." The interior has fancy scroll patterns on the royal purple lid lining.

ConditionExcellent. The barrel and cylinder retain 97% original blue finish showing minimal spotting. A small patch of pitting is present on the cylinder. The brass frame retains 95% plus original silver plating and has a small hole through the right side towards the grip panel. The grips are very fine with a couple tiny surface chips along the high edge, otherwise minor handling marks and retaining nearly all of the original finish. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with a repair on a short side, minimal chipping and short hairline stress cracks and typical high spot wear on the lining. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
