Factory Cased Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 Second Issue Revolver

The factory referred to this model as the New Model 1 1/2, manufactured between 1868 and 1875. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the two line Springfield, Mass. address/patent and reissue dates. The two patent date markings are on the top strap. The matching serial number is marked on the butt, rear cylinder face, barrel latch and rear of the top strap. Pinned blade front sight and notch rear sight, nickel finish with casehardened hammer and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with the intertwined "S&W" logo at the top. Comes in an original wooden case with wine colored velvet lining and 40 round bullet block.

ConditionVery fine. The revolver retains 85% original nickel finish with scattered minor flaking and an area of pitting on the cylinder. The hammer shows strong traces of bright original case colors mixed with a smooth brownish patina. The grips are excellent with a few minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. The action is fine. The case is very fine with some minor dents and light scratches on the exterior, and some soiling and contact wear on the lining.
