Description:

Manufactured circa 1876 to 1877, this is a spectacular example of a nickel finished Smith & Wesson First Model Single Action Baby Russian revolver. The revolver has the two line address and patent dates marking on top of the barrel rib. The matching serial number appears on the butt, rear face of the cylinder, barrel latch and barrel. The revolver is fitted with checkered hard rubber grips featuring "S&W" monogram at the top. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% plus original nickel finish with loss limited to some very scattered light flaking. The hammer retains some strong original case colors. The grips are also excellent with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
