Description:
RARE ANTIQUE SMITH & WESSON No 1 1/2  2nd ISSUE POCKET REVOLVER .32RF
This is anrly model in  .32 RF    not .32 S&W

If you're looking for an addition to your Smith & Wesson collection, then this antique, rare , classic piece of American firearm history , Smith & Wesson  Model  1 ½   2nd Issue Tip-up barrel  .32RF pocket revolver might just be what you're looking for. Made between 1868 - 1874 this revolver features a serial number of 57758. Produced approx. 1872-1873.  This model was the last of the Tip-Up models to be produced followed by the Top Break models.

Barrel stamped: SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS.PAT.APRIL. 3.55. JULY. 5. 59.NOV.21.68

condition:  The 3 ½“ ribbed tip-up barrel has a  bore with  scattered oxidation very light pitting  within and still showing strong rifling throughout.   The metal surfaces once blued are now a pewter gun-metal gray patina with some scattered oxidation, freckling,  a little scattered light pitting.  Some traces of blue still remain on the cylinder.  The smooth rosewood grips rate very fine with just some light wear along the edges and are stamped-numbered to the gun. Barrel to frame fit is excellent , The right side of the barrel latch is missing but still locks up tight. These parts are available on line if needed. Small screw on the grip is also missing. This screw is for hammer tension if needed. The gun appears to function mechanically with good timing but the top cylinder latch is worn or a weak cylinder catch spring and allows for some cylinder play.   Again as I mentioned these parts are available on line if needed. 

This rare, and original  early model 1 ½  2nd Issue , .32RF revolver is very hard to find  and as an antique, it requires no FFL. All that's needed is proof of age, and it can be shipped via FREE USPS priority mail. Please note that this gun is sold "as-is" as a collectible with no refund and no return. Payment can be made by personal check, postal money order, or bank check. If you prefer instant payment, call or email for account information, I can take venmo, Cash App or Zelle  and the item will be shipped the same day funds are received.
