Smith & Wesson No. 1 1/2 Second Issue Revolver with London Retailer Markings
serial #109182, 32 RF, 3 1/2" barrel with a bright very good bore showing scattered light pitting and strong rifling throughout. This fine No. 1 1/2 retains 98% nickel finish, likely period-added and expertly polished by English retailer Watson & Son of 313 High Holborn, London, whose marking can be found remaining crisp and excellent along the backstrap. It shows only a few scattered light handing marks, with some areas of old dried lubricant in the protected areas and the main apology being some edge wear and flaking around the muzzle toning to gunmetal. The hammer and trigger have toned to a smoky brown patina and the smooth rosewood grips remain excellent for their age showing only light softening and handling marks. Barrel address and retailer markings remain crisp while the serial number has begun to soften, and timing and lockup appear sound. This is a lovely no-frills example of a London-retailed No. 1 1/2 in a fine state of condition. (26A10826-416) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (800/1200)
