Smith and Wesson Model 1 value

[Archeaus]

So long story short I have a smith and Wesson model one (circa 1860s) I'm looking an appraisal of the value of it roughly not sure what issue it is for certain. It was inherited serial number is 516xx. left out the last two numbers. But, from what little I know only ~10000 first issues were made so based on the number id assume its not a first issue. Any help would be appreciated.

(Edit: It's actually a model 2 I found out based on the cylinder count).

You have a Smith & Wesson Model 2. Made 1861-1874. By your serial number, I'm guessing shipped in 1866. Only a factory letter will tell for sure.

I would encourage you to submit the info on your gun to the Model 2 database: http://www.model2project.com/

For an appraisal post pics of your gun on the Smith & Wesson forum: http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-antiques/
