Yes, definitely a model 1 1/2 in .32RF caliber.

Great ! looks like in near mint condition and with the original box also in great condition !

According to Flayderman, the last Baby Russian produced had serial number 25548.

I don't understand either. This Baby Russian has the correct grips, and I have never seen one with a lanyard ring.

Your gun is a .38 Single Action Second Model Revolver, made from 1877 to 1891 in 108,255 units.

wlw-19958, Thanks a lot for the catridge box picture !

Well, I can say that I have learned some pretty interesting facts today with these "Smith & Wesson Remington revolvers" !! Thanks a lot ! Is there any existing picture of these "Remington's Smith & Wesson Army Pistol" marked cartridge boxes ?

Hi Gary, Wyoming-74 wrote the word "handlebar" because he is French and didn't know the word for frontsight. So, he looked in a French-English dictionary and saw that the word "guidon" (frontsight in French) could be translated by handlebar because this word has the two meanings in French...

Olivier, we are talking here of the frontsight, not the "handlebar" ("guidon de vélo" in French), and I confirm that these frontsights on all my tip-up S&W are made of German silver ("maillechort" in French).

Hi Olivier, If you had posted the photos of your gun on the OWAR forum, I would have told you right away that the barrel was shortened after leaving the factory. And yes, the front sight is too high. Pat

If possible you should also buff out the remnants of the engraving at the muzzle.

Webb, you should redo right away because this muzzle end is really ugly !
