You are correct, this gun is a S&W 1 1/2 2nd Issue. .32 S/A Tip-up w/birdshead grip, round barrel, fluted cylinder(5 Shot).
It's a nice representation, however, I believe the gun has been re-nickeled since the trigger and hammer should be Blued.
This model was manufactured between 1868-1875(True Antique) with a total of 100,700 manufactured. The S/N range is 26301-127100 so your gun would probably fall about 1872-1874.
Enjoy this very nice piece of history...
