Video: My lovely S&W no.1½ "Tip-up" 32 caliber rimfire Revolver

 

Smith & Wesson began their long line of revolver making with the "Tip-up" spur trigger revolvers like my .32 caliber rimfire model 1½ "New Model" 😎

S&W Revolvers

 

Here is my Smith & Wesson no.1½ New Model .32 caliber rim-fire cartridge revolver which was made in 1875.

To reload this revolver, the barrel was designed to "tip up" and then the cylinder could be  removed.

Shells were ejected with the tool found under the barrel of the pistol.
