Smith and Wesson Model One, 2nd Issue -Scarce Factory Silver Plated & Ivories-
Description:
This is a nice Smith & Wesson Model One Revolver that dates to the beginning of the Civil War. Standard production for these were rosewood grips, silver plated frames with blued barrels and cylindesr. This one is a fairly scarce deluxe version with Full Silver Plated Finish and Ivory Grips. I've seen S&W letters from the early 1860's where there would be one like this in a shipment of 200 or more guns to Smith & Wesson's distributor, JP Storr of NY. While not extremely rare, this configuration most likely comprised less than 1% of production. The grips are factory with the serial number penciled on the inside of the Ivory panels. Normally S&W stamped serial number on the inside their rosewood grips but Ivory was far too fragile for stamping and a pencil was used instead. We have seen several examples of 1st and 2nd Issues like this.
Historically, many of these early guns were purchased by civilians and soldiers alike during the Civil War. Being the first cartridge revolver to be manufactured in the United States and protected by the Rollin White Patent, these little seven-shot revolvers proved to be reliable and much easier to load than the traditional muzzle-loader. With the advent of fixed ammunition, another great benefit was that they were practically waterproof. However, they were not without their drawbacks, especially where power and accuracy were concerned. Mark Twain was a proud owner of one of these little S&W's and summed it up perfectly in his work, Roughing It:
My brother had a Colt’s Navy revolver, which he carried uncapped for safety. Mister Beemis had an Allen pepper-box revolver. And I was armed to the teeth with a pitiful little Smith and Wesson seven-shooter, which shot a ball the size of a homeopathic pill. It took all seven to make a dose for an adult.
Overall condition is NRA Antique Fine with 85% original silver plating, with some bubbling and flaking. The majority of areas where the silver has flaked is on the iron components, particularly around the firing interfaces of the barrel and cylinder. The brass frame shows nearly all its original silver plate with losses confined to just the edges. Ivory grips are very solid with a nice yellow patina. No chips, repairs, or cracks aside from a small check off the edge of the right panel's German silver escutcheon. Action works nicely with a good bore. Note: These are not safe to shoot with modern ammunition. Sold as an antique collectible only.
