The included copy of a factory letter indicates the revolver was shipped along with 24 others to J.W. Storrs & Co. in New York City on March 16, 1863, with a 6" barrel, blue finish, and rosewood grips and that the engraving was completed through them. The intertwining scroll and star engraving may be by Nimschke.
