.22RF Short, 3.25" octagonal barrel, S/N 41612 (mfg. ca 1864). Blued barrel, silver-plated brass frame, varnished rosewood grips. Matching assembly numbers throughout, interior of right grip correctly numbered to the pistol. One-line Smith & Wesson barrel address and standard patent markings on cylinder. The first truly successful American cartridge revolver, the Smith & Wesson Model 1 is an essential part of any antique American firearms collection. Although more than 100,000 of these 1st Model, 2nd Issue revolvers were produced ca 1860-1868, they rarely appear in this kind of wonderful condition, especially those that were manufactured during the American Civil War.
