S&W First Model Pocket Revolver Mfd in 1861
Description: S&W First Model Revolver
This is a solid example of a Smith and Wesson 1st Model Revolver in .22 caliber. Standard 3-3/16" barrel. Seven-shot cylinder. This is an early one with a serial number in the 21,000 range which was manufactured at the beginning of the Civil War in the year 1861. It is a 2nd Issue and has the Original Rollin White 1855 Patent date on the cylinder as well as the 1859 and 1860 patented improvements. To put this gun into the proper perspective...these Smith and Wessons came out in the time when 99.9% of guns were muzzle-loaders. The self-contained cartridge was a brand new concept and not only was it easy to load, it was also water proof. As a result, many of these were privately purchased by soldiers during the Civil War as back-up weapons. See Photos. This one is 100% original with matching assembly numbers on frame, barrel, and cylinder. Grips are numbered to the gun as well. The 2nd Issue was basically an extension of the world's first cartridge revolver. It was essentially an improved version of the S&W First Model, First Issue (1857-1860) which sported a solid hammer and larger sideplate on the left side of the frame allowing easier access to the mechanics. The 2nd Issue was produced from 1860-1868 and shares the same serial range consecutive to the First Model. One of the most famous owner of the S&W First Model was Mark Twain who penned some interesting observations about this pint-sized mechanical marvel:
I was armed to the teeth with a pitiful little Smith & Wesson's seven-shooter, which carried a ball like a homopathic pill, and it took the whole seven to make a dose for an adult. But I thought it was grand. It appeared to me to be a dangerous weapon. It had only one fault--you could not hit anything with it. One of our 'conductors' practiced awhile on a cow with it, and as long as she stood still and behaved herself she was safe; but as soon as she went to moving about, and he got to shooting at other things, she came to grief.
- Roughing It
Overall condition grades to NRA Antique Fine with 95% original silver plating remaining on the brass frame. Cylinder retains 30% original blue with strong patent dates that is mixed with patina and light corrosion from black powder. Barrel shows 35% original blue that is mixed with patina and strong in the more protected areas. Barrel has a perfect early style "Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass" address. bright original blue. Very nice! Cartridge Ejector beneath the barrel is intact with 50% original blue and some light corrosion. Original rosewood grips retain 75% dark original piano varnish. One small chip on upper right grip panel. Nice mechanics with proper indexing. Bore is generally good with decent rifling and some scattered pits....typical of black powder bores from the 19th century. No rings or bulges.
