The revolver was handmade over the course of four years, 1956-1960, by expert gunsmith Ernest Hyyti. The included documents with the revolver state that upon completion of the firearm and its extra cylinders it was sent to Floyd Warren for engraving which covers 50% of the surfaces and gold inlaid bands at the muzzle, breech, and rear of the cylinder. The barrel is marked on the left ".22 HORNET E. HYYTI" on the left and "NO.1 FEB 1960" on the right. Includes a custom made quilted maple case, the wood for which came from a 200 year piece of antique furniture, containing a screwdriver and two extra cylinders for .22 Magnum and .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle respectively.

Very fine, with original finish, handling marks, a crack at the topstrap, and crisp engraving. The undersized grips are very good with epoxy added to make them fit more properly. Mechanically excellent. Case and extra cylinders are very fine.
