Many thanks to "COLLECTORSFIREARMS" for the nice pictures.
Smith and Wesson Model No. 1 First Issue Tip-Up Third Type.
This is an extremely rare .22 short single action 7 shot non fluted cylinder with a 3 3/16" octagon barrel, bottom break, spur trigger, silver-plated brass frame with blue barrel and cylinder, and square rosewood grips, circular side plate, cross-section of frame is oval with rounded frame sides.
Only 11,500 of these were manufactured between 1857 and 1860 so these are very rare.
