According to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson book, this U.S. Civil War era Model 2 Army .32 Rimfire long caliber revolver was produced in circa 1862. This revolver is marked: SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. on the top of the barrel, PATENTED APRIL 3, 1855, JULY 5, 1859 & DEC 18, 1860, on the outside of the cylinder, K3 on the cylinder face & barrel forcing cone and 10041 on the butt frame. SPECS: Tip-up style frame with a blued finish, 6 octagon barrel, smooth Rosewood grips, rear notch sight, German silver front blade sight, 6-shot unfluted cylinder, checkered hammer and spur trigger. This revolver comes with an unmarked, period correct, black leather flap holster. CONDITION: This revolver is in nice condition for its age with some bluing fade & light wear, has an excellent sharp/clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: The Smith & Wesson Model No. 2 Army a.k.a. Model No. 2 Old Model Smith & Wesson Revolver was manufactured from 1861-1874, with a total production of 77,020. It is a single action tip-up revolver on which the barrel pivoted upwards, hinged on the forward end of the top strap. These revolvers were available in blued or nickel-plated finishes and produced with 5- or 6-inch barrels with a few special order 4-, 8- and 10-inch barrels known to exist. For a Civil War soldier, owning a revolver as a backup gun was important, so Smith & Wesson's cartridge revolvers, .32 Army Model 2 and the .22 Model 1 came into popular demand with the outbreak of the American Civil War. Soldiers and officers on both sides of the conflict made private purchases of the revolvers for self-defense. Specimens of the Model 2 under serial number 35,731 (produced by May 1. 1865) have a high probability of being used in the Civil War. George Armstrong Custer is known to have owned a pair of cased and engraved Army Model 2 revolvers. Also, Wild Bill Hickok was carrying a Smith & Wesson Model No. 2 Army revolver when he was killed in Deadwood, South Dakota, on August 2, 1876.
