First Model Small Frame Baby Hammerless 22 Short Revolver C&R

Serial #0679, .22 Short, 1 5/16 inch barrel with a very fine bore.   This is an early Small Frame, First Model Baby Hammerless that has the headspace adjustment screw below the cylinder pin which was eliminated after 1910.  Also visible is the circle along the back of the frame where the hole was milled through to allow for the passage of cutting tools working on the inside frame and the barrel since it was an integral part of the first solid frame.  In excellent condition the double action only, folding trigger revolver retains about 90-95% of the original slightly dull nickel finish that has flaked on the inside grip and in a few small spots on the frame.  The original birds head mother-of-pearl grips numbered to a different gun rate excellent.   Mechanically it functions properly with correct timing.  A neat little pocket pistol that is not often found in high condition.  Please also note that we have the excellent Frank M. Sellers reference book Baby Hammerless Revolvers for sale.  FFL or C&R
