SMITH & WESSON
MODEL NO. 1 - FIRST ISSUE REVOLVER - 3RD TYPE - INSCRIBED - SERVICE RECORD
Description: Civil War Smith & Wesson Model No. 1 - First Issue Revolver - 3rd Type. Cal. .22 RF - 3 3/16" Bbl. - 7 shot - SN 1235 (1858). Bore is VG+ and is bright with sharp rifling - shows some mild spotting in a few areas - action and mechanics are good and crisp and hinge is tight. Metal is excellent overall with some mild "frosting" on the barrel but no rust, pits, or corrosion - barrel retains 40% + thinning blue with some "browning" beneath - frame has 90% to 95% original silver remaining - articulated hammer extension may be a replacement but looks, fits, and functions just fine. Rosewood grips are undamaged and retain 70% + varnish - show some age shrinkage near frame, mostly on the right grip. Butt is inscribed "Lt. Nickerson - Albion, NY" and Nickerson's very intereresting service record indicates he served in the 28th New York in Banks' Division. A very rare and hard to find early S&W Model No. 1 - First Issue in FINE or better condition and except for possibly the hammer extension, is all original and untouched throughout. Will make a super addition to a Civil War collection with inscription and record especially since it certainly saw action in the War. SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: No. 1 - First Issue - 3rd Type Caliber Info: .22 RF Manufacture Date: 1858 |
