The factory letter lists this revolver in ".48/c" caliber (typo/recording error, "45 CAL" marked on the trigger guard) with a blue finish and has the barrel length and type of stocks not listed, but 7 1/2 inch barrels and walnut grips were standard at the time. It was one of fifty guns of the same type in a shipment to J.P. Moores Sons in New York City on December 30, 1876. Matching serial numbers are visible on the cylinder, frame, trigger guard, and back strap. Provenance: The Charles Marx Collection

Good with some original finish in the protected areas, gray and brown patina on the balance, replacement small parts, some minor pitting, small chips at the corners of the re-varnished grip, and general moderate overall wear. The revolver functions, but the hammer is missing a notch.
