Id this gun
« on: April 13, 2011, 10:27:48 PM »
Can anyone Id this gun? Its a smith and wesson. Rim fire of some sort, not sure what cal. Bigger than a 22.

I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

It's spelled ID. "Id" is a psychological term.

It appears these things can fetch some serious coin. She will be happy to know it was a good find.

I have a revolver seemingly identical to that, save for mine was blued and that seems to be nickel plated.
I had mine "papered" by S&W, which included sending in a description, with serial #, and a photograph.
The response indicated mine was a "model 1½."   The paper says it's also refered to as the model 1½ second issue."
I am unfamiliar with the model 2, so I don't wish to make any absolute statements, but it seems to me that gun is also a model 1½.  BTW mine is also in 32 rimfire.
Until someone more familiar with S&W revolvers responds and explains the difference I am going to maintain that gun is the same model as mine.  If nothing else it ought to add a tad bit of spice to the thread. [popcorn] :cool:

I think it's a Model 2.

I'm not a S&W expert by any means but the Model 2 was a tip up design, and the Model 1 1/2 was a break top, wasn't it.  The pictured revolver hinges at the top of the frame.

I'm going to have to agree its not a 1 1/2. Ever picture I've found of a 1 1/2 tips the wrong way.
