CASED Antique SMITH & WESSON .38 Caliber Single Action “MODEL 2” Revolver
“WILD WEST” Hideout Revolver w/BONE HANDLED KNIFE
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson .38 Single Action Second Model Revolver, manufactured 1877 through 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Smith & Wesson manufactured approximately 108,225 of these revolvers between during its 14-year production run. This revolver was a more powerful .38 Caliber follow up to the No. 1, which was Smith & Wesson’s first metallic cartridge firearm. It utilized the idea of the “bored through cylinder”, which was patented by Rollin White and subsequently exclusively licensed by Smith & Wesson. This concept has forever changed revolving firearms design, and is the same idea used in revolvers today. S&W, via Rollin White himself, aggressively sued any patent infringers and were able to hold their monopoly on the American market for cartridge revolvers from about 1857 to 1870, whereupon their patent expired. The results were a very profitable business, a broke Rollin White, and a grudging U.S. Chief of Ordnance Alexander Dyer, who was still angry in 1870 about not being able to use the technology during the Civil War. The U.S. government ended up giving Colt their contracts since they valued the larger .44 caliber in the Colt 1860 Armies over the .32 caliber full sized No. 2 Armies.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Nice bone grips with an expected amount of wear. Numbers match. The knife and case are both in good shape.
