Manufactured from 1865 to 1868. This above average condition S&W Model 1 1/2 1st Issue revolver features a right grip panel numbered to the gun and matching assembly numbers on the grip frame, cylinder and barrel. The period mahogany case contains a cartridge block holding 20 rounds and a blank inscription oval on the exterior of the lid.

Exceptionally fine, retaining 90% original blue finish with thinning to brown (heavier on the grip straps) on the balance. The grips are very fine with some minor handling marks and nearly all of the original varnish remaining. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with minor handling/storage marks and typical high spot wear on the faded lining. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
