Description:

Offered here is a S&W Model Number One 1st Issue 2nd Type revolver which features the rare "bayonet" or flat spring barrel latch found only on the first approximately 1,130 Model Number One 1st Issue revolvers (1st and 2nd Type) and rare full silver finish. The revolver also has the revolving recoil plate attached to the frame. The barrel rib has the one-line address, the cylinder has the 1855 patent marking, and matching serial numbers are on the butt, both grip panels, barrel and cylinder. The period case contains an empty cartridge block and cleaning rod. The bottom of the case is period marked in pencil "James Clarke April 29, 1869." Provenance: The Dr. Gerald Klaz Collection

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retaining 95% original silver plating with general loss on the cylinder. The grips are fine with some high edge wear, minor handling marks and retaining most of the original varnish. Mechanically needs work as cylinder does not lock properly when hammer is cocked. The case is fine with some minor handling/storage marks and wear and stains on the lining.
