Description:

Manufactured 1888-1902. Also known as the Lemon Squeezer. This 1st Model can be distinguished by the barrel latch release which pushes down to open. This revolver features floral scroll engraving on the barrel, frame and cylinder flats. The cylinder and trigger guard are gold plated and the remaining metal parts are silver plated. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the two line address/patent dates and the S&W Trade Mark logo is on the right side of the frame. The matching serial number is marked on the butt, rear cylinder face and on the top strap at the latch. Fitted with smooth pearl grips.

Rating Definition:

Period embellished by one of S&W New York retailers probably as a counter top display piece with 90% of the silver plating remaining. The silver has darkened with age. Half of the original case colors remain on the trigger. The trigger guard and cylinder retain 60% gold finish with a smooth dark patina on the balance. The grips are excellent with only light handling marks. The engraving and markings are clear. The action is excellent.
