Brass-tipped hammer - Smith and Wesson Army No. 2 Revolver
A family heirloom has been passed down and I'm trying to learn more about it. So far, it appears to be a Smith and Wesson, Army No. 2 Revolver, the serial number is real small and stamped on the frame 57XX, the same number is also stamped on the inside of the grip. The gold colored brass-tipped hammer - is curious to me, in other photos online I haven't noticed any like this and I'm wondering if the hammer is original. I would appreciate any ideas so I can learn more about this. Fifty years ago my grandmother said he was an aid to a General in the Civil War so I'd like to see what I can find out. Thanks, kind regards, Roger
