Desirable Smith & Wesson No. 1 Third Issue Revolver with Short Barrel
serial #50969, 22 RF, 2 11/16'' barrel with a very good plus bore showing scattered pinprick pitting but retaining strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain about 97% original nickel plate showing fine freckling under strong light, minor flaking and oxidation stains on the cylinder with a few handling marks. The smooth rosewood grips are numbered to the gun, they remain in very good plus condition with a few scattered flakes and handling marks. The barrel, cylinder, and frame have matching assembly numbers, the action remains crisp, and barrel-to-frame fit remains tight. A fine and desirable short-barreled variant.
