Manufactured circa 1860-1868. The revolver features a typical and attractive floral scroll and punch dot engraving on the sides of the barrel, cylinder, frame and back strap. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the one line address "SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS" with a simple wire border. The serial number is marked on the butt, and the matching assembly number "C2" is marked on the right heel under the grip, front face of the cylinder and rear of the barrel lug. Blade front and notch rear sights, all silver finish and fitted with smooth pearl grips.

Very fine. The revolver retains 70% original silver plating, almost all of which has darkened with age. There is a smooth dark patina on the exposed metal and an attractive untouched patina on the exposed brass. The grips are also very fine with light handling marks. The markings and engraving remain crisp and clear. The action is fine.
