Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a wonderful double cased set of 1/3 scale Colt Paterson revolvers with accessories by master miniature maker Larry Smith of Florida. Each revolver is 4″ long with a 2 5/32″ octagon barrel of .122 caliber. The frames are silver plated. The balance of the steel parts are beautifully fire blued with the exception of the hammers which are finished in the white. Both revolvers have platinum bands inlaid into the cylinders, and at the muzzle, breech, and on the bottom underlugs of the barrels. Both barrels have silver inlaid barrel addresses which read “-L.H. SMITH-FLA. U S A-” Both barrels do not have the wedge screw, which is normal on Larry’s very early Colt Patersons. Brass bead type front sights. The serial numbers 37 & 38 are stamped into the bottom of the backstrap, bottom front of the frame, and the bottom rear of the barrel. Both revolvers will shoot the 2mm pinfire cartridges. Accessories include a three handled bullet mold with turned walnut handles marked with an “S” on top of the sprue cutter and “.120” (caliber) on the left side, a one spout powder flask which is a cartridge container and ejector that is marked on the bottom “37, 38” in two lines, a brass cleaning/extractor rod with walnut turned handle and a brass ferrule, & a brass lift top cap tin, the top stamped “_L.H., SMITH” in two lines that contains two 2mm pinfire blanks and two round lead bullets. Everything is housed in the original Larry Smith mahogany hinged top casing with slide latch and a rectangular German silver escutcheon with scalloped corners in the center of the top. The case interior is French fit and lined in a plum/burgundy velvet. The bottom of the case stamped “-L.H.-, SMITH, 37 – 38” in three lines. Mint condition with the exception of a very little expected tarnish to the silver plated frames. A beautiful and very rare Larry Smith set that will be the highlight of any Larry Smith miniature collection. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
