Excellent Antique Smith & Wesson Number One Nickel 22 Revolver

Serial #108532, .22 Rim Fire, 3 3/16 inch ribbed round barrel with a bright, near excellent bore with strong rifling and only a few tiny spots of roughness in the grooves near the breech. This is the Smith & Wesson model Number One 3rd Issue revolver manufactured from 1868-1881. The little antique revolver is in excellent overall condition with the frame and barrel retaining nearly all of the original bright nickel finish with loss on the cylinder making this about 90-95% overall. The hammer and trigger show about half of the original smoky case colors with crisp barrel markings. The smooth rosewood grips remain in very fine condition retaining about 95% original varnish showing some light flaking and handling marks. Their fit is excellent, the right panel is properly stamp-numbered matching and the other numbered parts are matching by assembly number. Mechanically it is in excellent condition with proper timing and cylinder rotation when cocked and tight barrel to frame fit. An excellent example for your collection. Antique
