Product Description

WILD WEST Antique SMITH & WESSON Number 1-1/2 .32 RF “NEW MODEL” Revolver 

NICE .32 Caliber Rimfire Spur Trigger FRONTIER

Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson Model Number 1-1/2 .32 Rimfire 2nd Issue Revolver, also known as the “New Model” Number 1-1/2, made circa 1868-1875 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Like the 1st Issue, it was also produced in blued steel and nickel-plated varieties, with most models having a ​3 ¹⁄₂-inch barrel. 2nd Issue guns were serial numbered consecutively after the 1st Issue, with numbers ranging from approximately 26,300 through 127,000.

The No. 1 was Smith & Wesson’s first metallic cartridge firearm. It utilized the idea of the “bored through cylinder”, which was patented by Rollin White and subsequently exclusively licensed by Smith & Wesson. This concept has forever changed revolving firearms design, and is the same idea used in revolvers today.

The overall condition is nearing fine. Original finish. Strong action, but intermittently indexes. Solid grips with average handling wear. Legible markings. The bore is good, slightly dimmed, with strong rifling.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 3-1/2 inches.

Caliber: .32 Rimfire
