Engraved Smith & Wesson Model 1 3rd Issue Revolver with Rare Short Barrel and Pearl Grips

Manufactured circa 1868 to 1881. This example of a Model 1 3rd Issue revolver features 70% coverage of New York Style engraving with fine punch dot background and the rare short barrel. The engraving covers the sides of the barrel, cylinder flats, sides of the frame and upper back strap. A starburst motif is engraved on each side of the barrel lug with the lower lug. The rear edge of the cylinder and upper back strap have a scallop style border with the lower section of the back strap having a decorative wire and dot engraved design. The short barrel correctly has the one line address and patent dates marking on the left side. Fitted with two piece bird head pearl grips.

ConditionGood. The revolver has a mottled gray patina with some scattered light pitting. The grips are very fine with an attractive color. Mechanically needs work as the cylinder does not rotate properly when action is cycled.
