Smith & Wesson No. 1 Second Issue Revolver
This is a fantastic, early Smith & Wesson Model 1 Second Issue tip-up single action spur trigger revolver chambered in .22 rimfire caliber, produced by Smith & Wesson circa 1868-1875. The revolver shows a two-tone finish with nickel'd octagon 3.25" barrel and brass frame with walnut grips. To reload the weapon, the barrel was tipped up, the cylinder was pulled forward and out of the frame, and then the empty shell casings could be poked out by use of the ejector rod under the barrel. It was a simple and sturdy design that worked well. The top of the barrel is marked, "SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS.". The revolver shows a fine original condition with a faded nickel finish across the frame. The revolver shows good mechanics and smooth action. Serial Number: 104703. The revolver qualifies as an antique hand gun and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
