Manufactured from 1864 to 1872 with approximately 3,300 produced left side of frame is marked with the Marston address and patent marking over "IMPROVED 1864". The frame has near full coverage floral scroll engraving while the barrels have geometric designs. Matching serial number on left side of frame under grip and on the smooth rosewood grip panels.

Very good, with mostly grey patina, some scattered light pitting, attractively aged brass, crisp engraving, and a few minor chips and handling marks on the grips. Mechanically needs work as it does not function when barrel is engaged.
