Unknown Revolvers

adamj812

Found 5 more revolvers, can't find any info or value on them. Any help would once again be greatly appreciated!

First one says Baby Hammerless Model 1922USA




Patent dates of 1869, 1877, and 1871



Smith's Patent April 15, 187?




J.N. Scotts Safety Hammerless. Pat Jan 24 1888 Oct 28 1889



Old Colt Black Powder, looks to have been converted. Information I've found was that these were converted during the civil war. The previous owner purchased this in a shop 70 years ago, so any modifications were done prior to that.

Your first revolver is a Baby Hammerless- they were made under 3 different company names at different times. Yours is (by the grips) a Sedgeley- also by Columbia and Kolb. Cal 22 short, double action only. Blued variety is scarce, as is the top break version, or the 32 version. Depending on condition, these typically go for $50 to $400. I have a few of them- about as accurate as throwing a rock- but made to be used at the 2 ft range.

The S & W is the Model "1 1/2" made between 1878 & 1892. The "bird's-head" grips are the indicator of this model. 32 S & W Cal. $150 - $250.

The Smith Revolver was probably made by the little known Otis Smith. Although he was a very prolific manufacturer of various types of pocket revolvers during the late 19th Century, not much is heard of him and his firearms nowadays. The Ivory grips are probably worth more then the revolver, because of it's condition. $100 -$200?

"J. N. Scott" is a Trade Name attributed to Hopkins & Allen. It appears to be another variation of the ubiquitous Suicide Specials. Appears to be in Very Good condition, hammerless varation, might be interesting to a collector, $150 - $250?

adam,
the only thing i can add is on the J.N. Scott marked revolver. this is an exact duplicate of a revolver manufactured by otis a. smith called the 'spencer safety hammerless' (flayderman's 8th edition page 415). these were manufactured in the very late 1890s. as rufe-snow has said o.a. smith was a large manufacturer of brand name revolvers as well as thoses marketed under his own name. in this case i believe this j.n. scott marked revolver was manufactured by o.a.smith.
