Description:
Antique SMITH & WESSON No. 2 “OLD ARMY” Revolver
Made During the Civil War Circa 1863
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model No. 2 Old Army Revolver, made circa 1863 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 very good. The blue finish is 75% intact. The markings are clear and legible. The rosewood grips are in great shape. The bore is clear with sharp rifling. The action on this revolver is excellent. Here is a very nice example of an early S&W revolver purchased for a sidearm during the American Civil War!
