Scarce Smith & Wesson No. 1 1/2 Second Issue Revolver
serial #106973, 32 RF, desirable 2 1/2" side-address barrel with a bright very good bore showing scattered light pitting with strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this revolver retain 97% original nickel finish showing light handling wear and minor bubbling and flaking, most chiefly along the barrel rib, showing minor oxidation staining in the areas of loss. The balance of metal surfaces have been treated with handsome Nimschke-style engraving, showing punch-dot backed foliate scroll along the sides of the frame and cylinder flats, with a punch-dotted diamond motif running along the barrel and light borderwork flanking the barrel address and familiar sunburst and weaving geometric linework motifs present along the top and gripstraps. The smooth ivory grip panels rate excellent with each panel yellowing nicely and showing handsome, darkened checks running the length of each with minimal handling wear. Timing and lockup appear sound and this remains a nicely-adorned example in a desirable configuration. (26B10826-307) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (1800/2200)
