Serial No. 80105 and 71487. Manufactured 1868 - 1875. Offered is a set of 2 antique Smith & Wesson Model 1-1/2 New Model pocket revolvers. Each retain virtually 95% of their factory nickel finish and both are standard .32 rim fires. Minty birds head rosewood grips. Both bores are near mint and neither cylinder ends show any signs of real use. Perfect hinges. Both function perfectly as well. Hammers retain most of the original case colors. Most of the apparent nickel loss is evident on the cylinders with some slight oxidation and bubbling of finish but very minimal. The case is contemporary to the guns themselves and is done in the French fitted style.
