Smith & Wesson model 1-1/2 New Model, .32 rimfire caliber single action revolver, nickel plated, varnish rosewood grips, rare factory 2-5/8” barrel, serial #120556. The Smith & Wesson shows the correct side barrel address which authenticates the barrel length. The revolver shows 75-85% original nickel, some drifting at the edges on front of cylinder and handling areas. The areas where the nickel has lifted show a dark patina and some beginning erosion and pinprick pitting which is mostly in the cylinder flutes. The hammer shows 50-60% dulling case hardening. The rosewood grips are good to very good with some edgewear and about 20-30% varnish. The action is working, the bore shows a couple of rough spots and is about good. A scarce barrel length which several knowledgeable collectors estimate about 100 produced. Est: $900 - $1,800
