S&W manufactured their Model No. 1, Second Issue Revolver from 1860 to 1868, and offered here is a highly attractive example complete with an original and sought after S&W Gutta Percha case. The barrel and cylinder have the polished bright blue finish, and the frame is plated in silver. The revolver wears a set of varnished rosewood grips. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun. A matching assembly mark appears on the grip frame, cylinder, and barrel. The barrel rib has the standard S&W Springfield address, and the cylinder has the patent marking. The original S&W Gutta Percha case features a decorative relief lid featuring the image of a No. 1 Revolver and "MANUFACTURED ONLY BY/SMITH & WESSON,/SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS." The interior of the lid features decorative red wine velvet. The bottom interior of the case is lined in red velvet and contains a cartridge block holding a full count of 56 cartridges.
