old gun.jpg

This is my nephew's gun and only photo I have. It is a centerfire. Thinks it's a 32. Serial number is 4869. The writing on it says Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass. USA. Pat'd Jan 17&24.65, July 11.65, Aug 24.59, Jan 19 1875, Reissue July 25,1871. Some of the numbers are not real clear. Any info or comments would be appreciated.
