CIVIL WAR-Era Antique S&W No 2 “OLD ARMY” Revolver
Made During the American Civil War & Popular w Troops
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model No. 2 Old Army Revolver, made circa 1862 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. Smith & Wesson continued to leverage their patent well beyond the war and they remained very popular with the public and on the frontiers.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have a nice patina. The markings are clear and legible. This revolver has a well-fabricated hammer spur as they had a tendency to break, an internal repair to the left grip, and what appears to be places for mounting a trigger guard on the bottom of the frame. Serial numbers match, including the original rosewood grips. The bore is clean with good rifling. The action is excellent. Here is a fantastic Smith & Wesson with lots of history for your collection.
