The barrel is fitted with a high post front sight and the hammer has a slot in it which serves as the rear sight. The bullet chamber houses nine pinfire 38 cartridges. The action functions in both single and double action. There is lower trigger attached to the rear of the primary trigger which fits through a slot in the bottom of the trigger guard that when pulled back advances the chamber and cocks the hammer. To fire double action one simply uses the primary trigger in the traditional manner. Fitted with smooth two piece varnished walnut grips.
Condition: Very good. The metal surfaces have a crisp smooth gray patina. The bullet chamber appears to have been left in the white and remains bright. The markings are crisp and clear. The mechanics are excellent.
