Description:

Manufactured in 1850. Mismatched cylinder ("144537") and wedge ("9442"), otherwise visible serial numbers match. Provenance: The Will Hoffeld Collection; Property of a Gentleman

Rating Definition:

Fair overall with a mix of gray and artificial brown patina, pitting, half of the original silver plating remains on the grip straps, refinished grip with flattening on the left side and high edge wear. Mechanically needs work as hammer does not properly release from the full cock position when trigger is pulled.
