This case 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 model, several smaller renditions of the same as borders, scroll designs, and "MANUFACTURED ONLY BY/SMITH & WESSON,/SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS." The maroon interior has fancy scroll patterns on the lid lining.

Fine, with some scattered chipping along the edges, a couple hairline stress cracks on the sides and fading lining with typical high spot wear. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
