Smith & Wesson New Mdl 1 1/2 Cal .32 SN:60212, Single action revolver, nickel plated, hard rubber grips, left top of barrel inscribed in block letters "W F & Co #60212". The revolver remains in fair to good condition showing approx 40%-50% original nickel drifting to patina with some erosion and pitting starting where the nickel has lifted. The cylinder shows some dark areas and some slightly heavier pitting. The hard rubber grips are good to very good. The action is good; the bore good. The hammer shows most of its case hardened colors. The barrel address is well-marked. The pistol retains its original Railway Express Agency tag which is marked number "14" on reverse and shows "Smith & Wesson revolver and serial #" typed on top. There were a number of Railway Express and Wells Fargo Arms (the Wells Fargo arms were purchased by Railway Express before WWII) that were auctioned approx 40 years ago.
