About the inscription:  Manuf'd For Smith & Wesson Pat'd April 3, 1855.  Lucius Wilson Pond was a Worcester, Mass. machinist and inventor began producing cartridge revolvers around 1861, during the American Civil War.  Smith and Wesson already controlled the patent for the bored through cylinder.  Ponds revolver used a similar cartridge system, and was considered an infringement on S & W's patent.  Consequentially, Ponds had to turn over thousands of revolvers to Smith and Wesson, the guns were all stamped "Manufactured For Smith & Wesson Pat'd April 3, 1855".  Smith & Wesson sold the guns publicly, paying Pond the costs to manufacture the guns.  There are about 4000-4500 of these revolvers made with the Pond/S&W arrangement.  

Antique guns are sold as collector items, with no representation as to their safety to shoot or use.  These revolvers were made for black powder cartridges only.
