Hopkins & Allen were major manufacturers of firearms from 1868 until 1915. They produced a range of affordable revolvers and pistols including spur trigger revolvers. This example is marked with the two-line address and patent information on the top of the barrel and "XL NO. 2" on the top strap. The matching serial number is marked on the grip frame and underside of each of the smooth grip panels. It includes a rare factory picture box.
