SMITH & WESSON FIRST MODEL AMERICAN SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

SMITH & WESSON FIRST MODEL AMERICAN SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. Cal. 44 American. SN 6083. Blue finish with 8” keyhole bbl, half moon German silver front sight with smooth 2-pc walnut grips that are matching numbered inside right grip. This appears to be the beginning of the “transition model American” as it has a transitioned 1.423” cyl vs. the older 1.450” cyl but does not have the transitional model interlocking hammer/bbl catch. CONDITION: Very fine. Overall retains about 80% strong, glossy, orig, factory blue with the losses primarily due to flaking, although there is slight muzzle & sharp edge wear. Hammer retains about 90% faded case colors and triggerguard 25-30% strong case colors, mostly in sheltered areas with balance turned silver. The extractor pawl is a little sticky, otherwise mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with a couple of spots of light pitting. Some of the screws are slightly battered. Grips are very fine with light edge wear and retain a smooth orig oil finish. Altogether a beautiful First Model American. Baldwin Collection 4-30029 JR106 (7,500-12,500)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2007

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
