Description:
Circa 1865 Antique SMITH & WESSON No. 1 ½ Revolver
With Neat Period Modification!
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model 1 ½ First Issue Revolver, manufactured circa 1865 in Springfield, Massachusetts. This small, single action revolver holds 5 shots of .32 rimfire. It was specifically designed to be a pocket gun, being very small and light. This design was based on S&W’s flagship model the No. 1 in .22 Rimfire. It was between the sizes of the No. 1 and the martially sized offering the No. 2 “Old Army”.
The No. 1-1/2 has been period modified to make it easier to load on the fly. This revolver was originally meant to be loaded by tipping the barrel up on its hinge, removing the cylinder, and loading each chamber before reinstalling it. This modification of filing a generous groove to make a loading gate enabled the user to load like a Colt Single Action Army, keeping the cylinder in the firearm. The top of the barrel is marked “SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. PAT. APR. 3.55. JULY.5.59”.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have a dark plum patina. The markings are clear and legible. Serial numbers match. The grips are in great shape. The bore is dark. The action on this revolver is excellent. Here is an early Smith & Wesson Revolver with a truly unique period modification to make it more useful to its owner!

Barrel is 3-1/2 inches.
