***RARE*** SMITH & WESSON Model 1, FIRST ISSUE Type 2, CASED!...1st Cartridge Revolver...LAYAWAY?
Description: LAYAWAY???...***RARE*** SMITH & WESSON Model 1, FIRST ISSUE Type 2, CASED!...1st Cartridge Revolver...LAYAWAY?...serial #233, 22 RF, 3 1/4'' ribbed octagon barrel with a partially bright fair bore showing a few patches of moderate oxidation and pitting with some good rifling throughout. This is an early second type revolver with the scarce ''bayonet-style'' barrel spring-catch and slightly revised revolving recoil shield. The barrel and cylinder have mostly toned to a mottled gunmetal and gray-brown patina showing some scattered areas of old light pitting and remnants of minor oxidation. The underside barrel flat retains a streak of original bright blue and the markings remain mostly legible, the barrel with single line address and the cylinder with ''R. WHITE'' and single patent date. The frame has toned to a nice ocher patina showing a few light dings along the sideplate and some more minor handling marks. The smooth rosewood grips remain in very fine condition and are a dark almost ebony tone showing some scattered light dings and a tiny chip at the heel of the right panel. The left panel is stamp-numbered to the gun and the right panel number has been removed, though it fits the frame quite well and its color is identical to the left. A couple of the screws and the articulated hammer spur are later replacements and the barrel exhibits moderate side-to-side play. The barrel and cylinder are matching the frame and the action otherwise remains functional with good timing and lock-up. The included original second type gutta-percha case remains in about fair-good condition showing some areas of rough filler repairs and thin repaired cracks through the lid mostly along the left side, filler repairs around the hinges and along the edges and corners of the base. The molded motifs remain mostly intact. The interior base lining shows some rudimentarily repaired areas along the back edge along with some small tears and staining, the cartridge block is mostly intact with a few small chips, and the embossed purple lid lining rates very good plus showing some mild scuffs and light staining. A respectable example of a desirable and "early" No. 1. Thanks...Greg b16-18, Saved photo folder SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: 1, 1st Issue Type 2 Serial Number: 233 |
