At first I was a bit skeptical. I mean, what were the chances the dealer I was speaking to had actually acquired Baby Russian serial numbers one and two. Together with thier presentation boxes.
Fortunately he had a daegoerrotype of Messrs. Smith and Wesson presenting them to Tsarina Catherine and President Adams in the Rose Garden on Memorial Day 1839.
Quite a find.
