Manufactured in 1865. Japanese characters are present on the left and right barrel flats. The butt of the left grip panel is also stamped with a Japanese character. It is known that some of these revolvers were shipped to Japan following the Civil War. See "The Military Handguns of Imperial Japan" by Paul Scarlata in the Feb. 2018 issue of "Man At Arms."

Very good with original finish, areas cleaned to silver-gray patina, light pitting, and general mild wear. The left grip is chipped at the lower edge, but the grips are otherwise very good with mild wear.
