Smith & Wesson Model 1- 1st Issue, 6th Type
The Smith & Wesson Model No. 1 1st Issue Revolver represents two significant firsts in the history of firearms - it was the first in a long line of revolvers produced by S&W and it was also the first U.S.-made arm to employ a self-contained metallic cartridge. Total production of about 11,671, with the 6th Type in serial number range from about 5500 to 11,671. Manufactured in November 1859.
I would describe the bore as good, the action functions properly
