Smith and Wesson Model One, 3rd Issue Blued
Description: Smith & Wesson --Blued-- Model 1, 3rd Issue Revolver This is an early tip-up First Model, 3rd Issue revolver with original blued finish. These are tough to find in Excellent condition. Produced from 1868 to 1881, the 3rd Issue was the final version of S&W's Model One: the world's first cartridge revolver. Compared to the 1st and 2nd Issues, it was more streamlined and rounded in contour than its predecessors. This one is in the 83,000 range which dates it to approximately the mid-1870's. For a blued 3rd Issue, it's pretty strong example...not perfect...but consistent and strong on frame, barrel, and some decent blue remaining on the cylinder. This is a standard one with 3-3/16" round barrel, seven shot fluted cylinder, .22 caliber, and rosewood birds-head grips.Overall Condition grades to NRA Antique Excellent with 97% original blue on the frame, 80% on the gripstraps, 85% original blue on the barrel with a few spots of light corrossion. The cylinder on this one is much nicer than most and shows 60% original blue mixing with patina. This lesser level of finish is common due to powder residue and resting on its side. The blue is stronger in the flutes while thinner on the outer surface. Both the hammer and cartridge ejector rod retain most of their original case colors. The original rosewood grips show 98% original piano varnish with a little bit of wear on the high spots. The wood to metal fit is perfect with no chips or cracks. The action is strong. The Bore is Excellent. Barrel still latches up fairly tightly to the frame. Excellent pins and screws. Nice example of blued 3rd Issue that is well above average.
