WILD WEST Antique SMITH & WESSON Number 1-1/2 .32 RF Revolver PEARL GRIPS
FINE Wild West .32 Rimfire Spur Trigger
Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Smith & Wesson Model Number 1-1/2 .32 Rimfire 2nd Issue Revolver, also known as the “New Model” Number 1-1/2, made circa 1868-1875 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Like the 1st Issue, it was also produced in blued steel and nickel-plated varieties, with most models having a ?3 1⁄2-inch barrel. 2nd Issue guns were serial numbered consecutively after the 1st Issue, with numbers ranging from approximately 26,300 through 127,000.
The No. 1 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 overall condition is fine. Original nickel finish is preserved. Some of the finish is beginning to blister around each side of the barrel rib. Excellent action. Lightly frosted bore, shows serviceable rifling. Fine pearl grips. Markings are legible.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
