im getting ready to put this brass presentation box medalion on auction here. a while back we learned of the model gun, but its been so long i forgot. what model s&w is this? thanks.

The model 1, 2 and 3 all looked like that. Most likely, it is a 3rd model. They were also called "tip ups".

bobski

why 3rd?

Not a 3rd...the 3rd is a Top Brake......
TU-1 IS what you have..
TU-I/1/2 HAS A RIB TOP BARREL...
TU-2 has a Rib Top barrel also...

I would have answered, but I am not an Old S&W expert like the Capt.[}:)]

Comparing your photo to guns in my collection (I don't do wild guesses as some other "experts" do) it appears to be a Model 1, first issue. The teltale clues are (1) The short cylinder relative to the frame says it is a .22 caliber making it a Model 1. (2)The rounded top to the frame behind the hammer, and (3) The circular side plate are found only on the first issue of the Model 1. All other tip-ups had a squared-off top to that area of the frame and a much larger, odd shaped side plate.
