$0.00

The Young America Double Action First Model is a collector’s prized compact black powder revolver, produced between 1884 and 1904, notable for its versatility and craftsmanship. Available in rare .22 rimfire and more common .32 S&W calibers, it comes with diverse round or octagon barrels in lengths of 2, 4.5, and 6 inches, and is distinguished by nickel or rare blue finishes. The pull pin cylinder release enhances its usability, with identifiable markings on its top strap. This model’s production evolved through three variations: the First (1884-1887) with a round barrel and nickel trigger guard, the Second (1888-1897) featuring an octagon barrel and nickel trigger guard, and the Third (1897-1904) with an octagon barrel and blue trigger guard, also displaying the company’s name and address. Rated as relatively rare (RF of 1 for .22 and RF of 2 for .32 calibers), the revolver exemplifies the design and manufacturing prowess of its time.
