serial #20160, 22 RF, 3 3/16'' ribbed octagon barrel with a bright very fine bore showing some scattered small areas of old oxidation and otherwise crisp rifling. The barrel, ejector rod and cylinder retain about 90% original bright blue showing some scattered light oxidation speckling and light flaking to gray-brown patina under bright light. The barrel address and patent dates along the cylinder remain intact and strong and the frame retains essentially all of its original silver finish showing some scattered light handling marks and a nice medium tarnish. The hammer retains fine case-hardened colors and the smooth rosewood grips remain in excellent condition with about 97% original varnish showing just a small drying crack along the base of the right panel. The right panel is properly stamp-numbered matching the frame by serial number and the barrel and cylinder are matching the frame by assembly number. Barrel-to-frame fit is very good and the action seems to function well mechanically. The included original Smith & Wesson mahogany case remains in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and handling marks along the exterior. The lock escutcheon is rosewood and the interior is lined in red baize that shows light honest wear. A small section of the barrel rest has been lost to the years, the cartridge block is intact and a small iron cleaning rod is present. A lovely cased revolver for the Smith & Wesson collector.
