About Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 Second Issue
The second issue of the Model 1+1⁄2 can be identified by its fluted barrel and the rounded shape of the grip butt. 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. It is estimated that less than a thousand models were produced with a 2+1⁄2-inch barrel; these can be positively identified by the barrel markings located on the side of the barrel, as opposed to the markings on the top strap that were applied to 3+1⁄2-inch barrels. 2nd Issue guns were serial numbered consecutively after the 1st Issue, with numbers ranging from approximately 26,300 through 127,000. Manufactured from 1868 to 1875 this is very nice example of a Model 1 1/2, 2nd Issue revolver. The top of the barrel rib has the one line address/patent dates (1855, 1859 and 1865) marking. It has a five shot fluted cylinder, casehardened trigger, hammer and ejector rod and nicely figured bird head rosewood grips. The right grip panel is numbered to another gun.
