    It's a #1, 3rd Issue. They made over 130,000 between 1868 & 1881. Because they made so many of them, only way they would be a big buck collectors item is if you had one NIB. Can't tell from your photos if yours has original finish, functional, bore and cylinder condition etc? If everything checks out, maybe in the $200-$400 range?

    Mr. 97,

    By the very limited info. you give, I am guessing you would rather research you gun yourself, thus the request for a web site with info. posted.

    Bad news, I do not know of such info. posted on the web.

    Good news, you can buy the book. Go to www.bookfinder.com/ & enter
    "Jim Supica & Richard Nahas" for author - "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 3rd edition" for title.

    You used the @ (at) symbol twice instead of & (and) both in initials & the full name Smith & Wesson. If this is the symbol on your gun, that could be an indication of a fake or clone. Many fakes & forgeries of early S&W's were marketed.

    Jim
