Post-CIVIL WAR Antique SMITH & WESSON Revolver
Model No. 1-1/2 First Issue in .32 Rimfire
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson No. 1-1/2 First Issue Revolver, made circa 1866 in Springfield, Massachusetts. This rather small 5-shot .32 Rimfire revolver was introduced in 1865 and was simply a scaled-up version of Smith & Wesson’s foundational and ground-breaking No. 1 .22 Rimfire revolver. Chronologically, it was released after the No. 2 “Old Army”, which was used throughout the Civil War, but was named the 1-1/2 due to its size, which fell between the No. 1 and 2. These were designed for concealable self-defense and were the first rimfire cartridge revolvers. Smith & Wesson was able to dominate the market for metallic cartridge revolvers through the early 1870s with the Rollin White Patent, which they fiercely defended.
The top of the barrel is marked “SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS/PAT’D APR. 3 1855 & JULY 5 1859”.
The overall condition is very good. This revolver was refinished long ago and 95% of the blue finish remains. The markings are clear and legible. The rosewood grips are in good shape. The bore is in good shape with nice rifling. The action on this revolver is excellent.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 3-1/2 inches.
Caliber: .32 Rimfire
