Civil War era antique single action rimfire revolver circa 1861-1874. With the outbreak of the American Civil War, Soldiers and officers on both sides of the conflict made private purchases of the revolvers for self-defense. Specimens of the model 2 under serial number 35,731 (produced by May 1. 1865) have a high probability of being used in the Civil War. Comes with a S&W factory letter signed by Roy Jinks stating this revolver was shipped from the factory on March 20, 1862 to J.W. Storrs, NYC, S&W's sole agent from 1857 to 1869. Features blued finish, smooth rosewood two piece grips, 6" octagon barrel with sighting rib, German silver front sight blade, rear notch sights, spur trigger, square butt, 6 shot unfluted cylinder, hinged frame tip-up action, manual extractor rammer pin under the barrel, smooth rosewood grips. One line address on the barrel rib, patent dates on the cylinder. Serial number on the heel with matching serial number on the inside of the right grip panel. Bore is overall very good, strong rifling with some scattered very light patches of pitting. Metal surfaces have turned a dark brown patina with age, S&W markings are crisp, grips are very good. Hammer action is smooth, the cylinder does not rotate, the hand appears to be present but does not protrude enough to turn the cylinder, needs adjustment. The tip of the hammer spur has broken off.
