SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD. MASS

Revolvers with serial numbers under 35,731 are considered to be civil war guns since they were manufactured before May 1st, 1864. All are 32-caliber rimfire with a six shot non-fluted cylinder. All were manufactured with rosewood grips and blue or nickel-plated finishes. The barrels are marked. The patent date is stamped on the cylinder and the serial number is on the butt. Each has a six inch barrel.

According to published sources, 77,155 Model 2 Army revolvers were made. To date, the serial numbers on observed specimens have not substantiated this figure, 76,642 being the highest number noted. Unfortunately, the Smith & Wesson factory records for this period are incomplete and do not give a comprehensive picture of production.

This is a rare chance to own a historically significant gun in truly excellent condition!
