CIVIL WAR Era Antique SMITH & WESSON “Old Army” Pattern .32 RF Revolver “DEAD MAN’S HAND” Style Revolver Made Circa 1860s
Description: CIVIL WAR Era Antique SMITH & WESSON “Old Army” Pattern .32 RF Revolver “DEAD MAN’S HAND” Style Revolver Made Circa 1860s Here we present an antique unmarked Smith & Wesson Pattern “Old Army” Style Revolver, made circa the 1860s. Smith & Wesson purchased the rights to the Rollin White patent for the bored through cylinder, which would forever change the development of revolving firearms. Beginning in 1857 they produced the Number 1, a 7-shot .22 rimfire pocket pistol, which was quite successful. This was fine for the commercial market, but S&W knew they could scale up their design for a pistol that could be worn on the belt in a holster. There was a total of 77,200 of these revolvers made during their production run from 1861 through 1874. Revolvers with serial numbers under 35,731 are considered to be civil war guns since they were manufactured before May 1, 1865. The action does not function. Good bore for its age. The left grip is missing. Original brown patina. “294S is marked on the bottom of the barrel. “239” marked cylinder. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 5 inches. Caliber: .32 Rimfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $650 #247800 Price: $650.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
