Description:
This is a less often found and extremely difficult gun to find, Offered here is a S&W Model Number One 1st Issue 2nd Type revolver which features the rare "bayonet" or flat spring barrel latch found only on the first approximately 1,130 Model Number One 1st Issue revolvers (1st and 2nd Type). The revolver also has the revolving recoil plate attached to the frame. The barrel rib has the one-line address, the cylinder has the 1855 patent marking, and matching serial numbers are on the butt, both grip panels, barrel and cylinder. Accompanying this rare revolver is an equally rare S&W gutta percha case with decorative relief lid showing an image of a No. 1 revolver and "MANUFACTURED ONLY BY/SMITH & WESSON,/SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS". The inside of the lid has decorative red wine velvet and the case contains an empty cartridge block. The exterior of the case is in excellent condition, with a few little hairlines but no major damage, way above average. The Revolver shows a nice untouched appearance and silver toning on the frame. The barrel shows the blue drifting to a nice untouched patina appearance. Mechanically excellent. This is an example that is extremely rare, although there are a few others on the market right now, I feel this is the best one at the most fair price point. If your in the market for one, this could be the one for you! Shipping cost with be actual cost. Method and insurance amount can be chosen by the buyer. More photos are available upon request. Thank you! All offers are considered!
