CIVIL WAR Antique S&W “OLD ARMY” .32 Rimfire Revolver
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique S&W “OLD ARMY” .32 Rimfire Revolver Civil War Serial Range Smith & Wesson Revolver Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model No. 2 Old Army Revolver, made circa 1863 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Smith & Wesson purchased the rights to the Rollin White patent for the bored through cylinder, which would forever change the development of revolving firearms. Beginning in 1857 they produced the Number 1, a 7-shot .22 rimfire pocket pistol, which was quite successful. This was fine for the commercial market, but S&W knew they could scale up their design for a pistol that could be worn on the belt in a holster. They began shipping their Number 2 “Army” Revolver, a 6-shot .32 caliber, just 2 months after the beginning of the American Civil War. The S&W Number 2 Army Revolver held distinct advantages over the percussion revolvers of the day in that its metallic cartridge ammunition was both waterproof and quick and easy to load into the gun, due to the bored through cylinders like we still use today. Nevertheless, the U.S. Army stuck with what it knew through the end of the Civil War, and a soldier could buy a S&W if he wanted to take one to the field. The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces bear a post-factory applied nickel finish, which is about 95%. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The original rosewood grips also match. The right panel has been repaired internally. There is a small modification or repair on the top strap of the frame. The bore is dark with clear rifling. The action is excellent. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 6 inches. Caliber: .32 Rimfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1200 #5375 SOLD Antique: Yes |
