Description:
The Smith & Wesson Model 1 was the first firearm manufactured by Smith & Wesson, with production spanning the years 1857 through 1882. It was the first commercially successful revolver to use rimfire cartridges instead of loose powder, musket ball, and percussion caps. It is a single-action, tip-up revolver holding seven .22 Short black powder cartridges. This one is serial number 1636 and is one of the early first issues, made from 1857 to 1860 and is the third of six types. This one is in good condition and retains about 20% of it's original blue on the barrel and cylinder. The brass frame has traces of it's original silver finish. The grips are very nice with most of the original finish. The action and lockup are tight. The bore is suprisingly nice as most of these look like sewer pipes. A nice early Smith for the collector.
