Broke a string of Colt purchases last week to bring home this .32 S&W Model 1 1/2 single action.





The finish is pretty good for a gun over 130 years old. The grips are in outstanding condition and are of the 2nd pattern described in the SCSW which fits for a SN of 27016.

Unfortunately the action is bound up. Though I can feel good spring pressure on the hammer, it will not draw all the way to full cock. I'm hoping it is something simply mis-installed and can be readily corrected. I have not yet attempted removing the side plate.

This is my third antique S&W currently, along with a DA .38 Top-Break and a Tip-Up .32 RF (I also previously owned a .44 Russian New Model #3).
