Scarce “2D QUAL’TY” SMITH & WESSON No. 1 Revolver Circa 1867 1 of 4,042 with “2D QUAL’TY” Marking
Description: Scarce “2D QUAL’TY” SMITH & WESSON No. 1 Revolver
Circa 1867 1 of 4,042 with “2D QUAL’TY” Marking
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model No. 1. Second Issue Revolver, manufactured circa 1867 in Springfield, Massachusetts, that has the rare “2D QUAL’TY” marking. The No. 1 was Smith & Wesson’s first metallic cartridge firearm. It utilized the idea of the “bored through cylinder”, which was patented by Rollin White and subsequently exclusively licensed by Smith & Wesson. This concept has forever changed revolving firearms design, and is the same idea used in revolvers today. S&W, via Rollin White himself, aggressively sued any patent infringers and were able to hold their monopoly on the American market for cartridge revolvers from about 1857 to 1870, whereupon their patent expired. The results were a very profitable business, a broke Rollin White, and a grudging U.S. Chief of Ordnance Alexander Dyer, who was still angry in 1870 about not being able to use the technology during the Civil War. The U.S. government ended up giving Colt their contracts since they valued the larger .44 caliber in the Colt 1860 Armies over the .32 caliber full sized No. 2 Armies.
This small revolver is a 7-shot .22 rimfire. It was specifically designed to be a pocket gun, being very small and light. The No. 1 was the precursor to larger firearms that were simply scaled up to be more suitable for use as martial weapons.
This one appears to have been marked for its “second quality” due to the casting flaw in the brass frame, visible on the right side of the gun. Only about 4,000 were marked so.
The overall condition is good. About 60% of the silver plate finish remains. The markings are clear. The rosewood grips are in good shape. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The action is strong. Here is an interesting little Smith & Wesson that was sold blemished from the factory. It may not have been up to S&W’s aesthetic expectations but it worked!
