Antique SMITH & WESSON No. 1 .22 RIMFIRE Revolver
Description: Antique SMITH & WESSON No. 1 .22 RIMFIRE Revolver 19th Century Conceal and Carry Revolver Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model No. 1 Third Issue Revolver, manufactured circa 1885 in Springfield, Massachusetts. 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 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. This small revolver is a 7-shot .22 rimfire. It was specifically designed to be a pocket gun, being very small and light. For those not wanting or needing a full-sized gun or for those who wanted a backup this revolver was the ideal firearm for the turbulent 19th century. The Third Issue was S&W’s final improved version of the revolver. The rounded birds head grips, fluted cylinder and round barrel made this an even sleeker variant of the revolver that started it all. The overall condition is good. 35% of the original nickel finish remains. The markings are clear and legible. The grips are in good shape. The bore is in good condition. The action on this revolver is strong. Overall, a nice example of the Third and final iteration of the S&W No. 1 .22 Revolver! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-3/16 inches. Caliber: .22 Rimfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $550 #7215 SOLD Antique: Yes |
