Manufactured from 1860 to 1868, this Model 1, 2nd Issue revolver features a blade front and notch rear sights, 7 round un-fluted cylinder, square flared butt, blue barrel and cylinder and silver plated brass frame. The top of the barrel is marked "SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS" and the cylinder is marked with the patent dates. Fitted with varnished rosewood grips. Assembly number "k2" is properly stamped on the face of the barrel, cylinder and grip frame. The right panel is numbered to the gun.

Very fine as period, most likely retailer re-plated. 85% plus high polish blue finish remains on the barrel with light thinning along the high edge and some spotting down the length. 95% silver plated finish remains and is now a pleasant age darkened even patina. The case hardened hammer displays vibrant colors. The grips are very fine, the left stock has a small chip at the heal. Mechanically excellent.
