ID’ed TN MOUNTED INFANTRY Antique Civil War S&W Signed James W Todd of the 4th TN Mounted Infantry
Description:
ID’ed TN MOUNTED INFANTRY Antique Civil War S&W
Signed James W Todd of the 4th TN Mounted Infantry
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model No. 1., Second Issue Revolver, manufactured circa 1860 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. The No. 1 was the precursor to larger firearms that were simply scaled up to be more suitable for use as martial weapons.
Though not a primary military arm during the American Civil War, handguns were commonly privately purchased by soldiers for use on the battlefield. Whether legend or fact, it is interesting to note something commonly read about pocket revolvers of the day: that while they could be used for self-defense against the enemy, many soldiers kept them on their person to defend themselves against an unwanted amputation in the primitive field hospitals that were notorious, even in their day.
This fine example of Smith & Wesson’s flagship revolver was owned by James W. Todd and is inscribed to him on the rear of the grip frame. James was enlisted in the Tennessee 4th Mounted Infantry, I Company, a Confederate state unit. He enlisted October 1, 1864, just a month after his 17th birthday.
The overall condition is very fine. The original silver finish on the brass frame is 90%. The original blue finish remaining is 75%. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The rosewood grips are in fine condition. The bore is in good shape. The action is excellent. Not only is this revolver a superior example of a Civil War period Smith & Wesson No. 1, it also has Confederate soldier provenance!
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.
