Engraved Smith & Wesson No. 1 1/2 Second Issue Revolver
serial #89892, 32 RF, 3 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore showing only some minor frosting scattered throughout. This is a lovely Second Issue, retaining 98% original nickel finish showing very light handling and high edge wear throughout with the barrel rib showing minor bubbling and flecks of oxidation staining. Scattered remnants of gold-washed finish are visible along the hammer and cylinder remaining strongest in the flutes, with the sides of the hammer showing a bubbled mix of old gold wash over nicely tarnished silver, and the ejector rod has toned mostly to gunmetal showing a mix of scattered light oxidation and the odd fleck of remaining gold. It bears New York-style punch-dot backed foliate scroll engraving along the frame and cylinder, with geometric linework and foliate flourish along the barrel assembly and backstrap, nicely framing the barrel markings, and the belly has been stamped ''P140''. The smooth mother-of-pearl grips remain excellent showing minimal handling wear with only one minute check and fleck of darkening visible on the left panel. The gun exhibits no discernible play when at rest and appears to be in fine condition. (26B10826-405) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (1800/2200)
