The Bulldog was manufactured from 1866 to the 1880s and uses a rotating breechblock that interlocks with the hammer at the time of discharge. It has blade and notch sights, "CONNECTICUT ARMS & MANF'G Co NAUBUC CONN." on the barrel, "PATENTED OCT. 25. 1864" on the breechblock, and right grip panel numbered to gun.

Fine. The barrel retains 70% original blue finish with thinning to brown on the balance. The frame retains patterns of original case colors. The grips are also fine with handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
