For your consideration is a Smith & Wesson No. 1 3rd Issue .22 RF revolver. The Model 1, 3rd Issue represented a substantial redesign for the Model 1, with a fluted cylinder, a round barrel, and a rounded "bird's head" style grip. Variants include the "square" and "triangular" top strap design that changed around serial number 9,500. The 3rd Issue guns were produced from 1868 through 1882 with serial numbers from 1 through approximately 131,000. The Model 1 was in popular demand with the outbreak of the American Civil War as soldiers from all ranks on both sides of the conflict made private purchases of the revolvers for self-defense. The revolver was so popular that orders for the Model 1 revolver outpaced the factory's production capabilities, forcing Smith & Wesson to expand. This revolver utilizes a 3 3/16” solid rib barrel chambered in .22 RF. The seven shot cylinder shows a patina to the blue finish. The revolver is fit with two piece rosewood grips in good condition for their early age. The revolver also features a spur trigger and birds head grip. The top of the barrel is stamped with the proper factory stamping. The revolver shows fair condition, as the hinge shows a partial repair and the top strap shows damage. Serial Number: 48796. This firearm qualifies as an Antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
