SALE PENDING
Description:
We are offering for sale a
S&W Model One, Third Issue Revolver . The Third Issue was the final version of Model Number One Revolver in .22 caliber...the very first S&W revolver ever built. The First Issue was produced from 1857-1860, the Second Issue 1860-1868, and the Third Issue 1868-1881. The main difference with the Third Issue from its predecessors is its distinctive streamlined appearance. The barrel was redesigned from octagon to round barrel, cylinders were fluted, and the squared saw-handle grips were changed to rounded birdshead grips. The standard silver plated frames with blued barrels and cylinders found on the 1st and 2nd Issues transitioned to a more monotone blued or nickel finish for the 3rd Issue. Also not that while the mechanics are the same on the 3rd Issue, Smith and Wesson added checkering to the barrel latches the spur trigger. Over 131,000 3rd Issues had been produced when Smith and Wesson halted production in 1881, making it the last revolver S&W produced with the tip-up barrel design.
This gun remains in good condition. Full nickel finish remains good with light scattered wear, loss. Some light oxidation wear on cylinder fluting. Gun locks up tightly with minimal movement. Screw heads show wear. Gun functions properly; Hammer and trigger function well. Birds head grips show scattered wear, finish loss. Right side grip shows minor chip on top edge bottom corner; Barely noticeable.
Nice example of the SMITH & WESSON Model 1, 3rd Issue
