The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 4, 2016.
PRIME CONDITION SMITH AND WESSON MODEL 1, THIRD ISSUE ENGRAVED.SMITH & WESSONNO. 1 3RD ENG ISSUE12408922RFCal. 22. 2-3/8" bbl. 7-shot tip-up single action revolver with spur trigger and 2-pc rosewood grips. Engraved in a New York pattern with extensive coverage on bbl, cylinder, and frame. Case colored hammer. Very late manufacture discontinued in 1881. PROVENANCE: Estate Collection of Jim Baldwin. CONDITION: Exemplary condition with virtually no loss of its factory bright nickel finish. Traces of loss only at very edges of chambers on front of cylinder and at forcing cone of bbl. 2-pc rosewood grips with matching number to frame are extremely fine with only a slight amount of distress on right side near bottom from storage. Engraving is period and possibly factory and is executed to its highest degree. Bore and mechanics are excellent, yet this gun is near new and additional research i.e. a factory inquiry by SN should be done. Truly a wonderful M1. 50975-18 TDW (1,250-1,750)
