Reportedly one of less than 200 converted to accept metallic cartridges.

Very good as professionally refinished, with scattered handling marks on the balance, smooth grey and brown patina, and scattered pitting. Grip is fine. Slightly out of time, otherwise mechanically excellent.

Dated "1884." Left of grip faintly stamped "NSW" above "141" (New South Wales).

Good with traces of original finish in protected areas, mostly smooth brown patina, edge wear, and scattered pitting and spotting. Refinished grip is also good, with a few cracks. Mechanically excellent.
