I just purchased my first #1 (2nd change)from a fellow member of my gun club. He told me he was selling all his S&W's and he had a few old guns left.(he had to sell his collection of over 400 S&W's to avoid bankruptcy after his stores were destroyed in the '68 riots and insurance paid nothing). He had a couple of 1 1/2's a very nice New Departure (which I may buy)and this really nice #1. I bought it immediately (will photograph next week). He had another gun, an OTIS SMITH copy of the 1 1/2, that is about a 95%+ gun. Nickel finish is original and very nice, bore is clean, and grips are perfect. I really had not idea what the actual value was, so I took him at his word (we are in the same Arms Collecting club), and bought it for $600.00. It is really a nice piece. Will photograph next week also. What I am looking for is any information you might have on an OTIS SMITH revolver Model 1883 Shell Ejector.
