Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: CIVIL WAR Antique S&W “OLD ARMY” Revolver Made During the American Civil War Circa 1863 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. This revolver’s serial number falls well within those made during the American Civil War. The overall condition is good. The iron surfaces have been cleaned bright. The markings are clear and legible. The serial numbers match, including the rosewood grips. The original grips are in good condition. The bore is very good. The action is excellent.
