The No.1,1st,1st is one S&W I have never seen.
I noticed that JJ said the only markings were the patent numbers (date?) on the cylinder. According to Jinks & Neal the earliest ones were marked "White PATENT Apr. 3, 1855" then changed to "PATENTED Apr. 1855". The patent date June 15, 1858 was added at about serial number 4,353.
Did these guns have S&W or Smith & Wesson marked anywhere on them??

(Any chance at pictures??)
