Antique SMITH & WESSON Number 1-1/2 2nd Issue .32 Caliber Rimfire REVOLVER
Nickel Plated WILD WEST S&W Spur Trigger
Description: Antique SMITH & WESSON Number 1-1/2 2nd Issue .32 Caliber Rimfire REVOLVER Nickel Plated WILD WEST S&W Spur Trigger Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model Number 1-1/2 .32 Rimfire 2nd Issue Revolver, 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 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. The overall condition is good. Strong action with a tight lock up. Good bore, clear, and dim. Both grips are in good shape with an expected amount of handling. Visible marks are legible. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/2 inches. Caliber: .32 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 $1200 #217817 SOLD Antique: Yes |
