Model No. 1

[Starshell]

Greetings.....new at this, but thought I would ask a question or two here regarding a recent interest in the Model 1 (& others?). In looking at a reference guide a bit ago, I noted that there were not only various "issue" numbers for the Model 1, but also various "types". So wondering if there is an available reference listing the differences between the "issues" and "types" for the Model 1? Thanks in advance....

Hi There,

Welcome to the Forum!

The standard references are: Standard Catalog of S&W 5th. Ed. by Supica & Nahas,
Smith & Wesson 1857 to 1945 a Handbook for Collectors, by Neal & Jinks
The History of Smith & Wesson, by Jinks

Cheers!

I'd add the Flayderman's Guide to Antiique American Firearms.
