Description:

Less than 1,000 of these revolving rifles were estimated to have been manufactured c. 1866-1879 per Flayderman's Guide. This example is number "131" and has the matching serial number on the bottom of the barrel ahead of the lever latch, on the rear of the cylinder (faint), on the left side of the upper and lower tangs, and inside the upper stock mortise. The barrel has dovetailed blade and notch sights. The frame has a top strap groove with a vent hole at the breech and is fitted with a silver plated, spurred trigger guard. The smooth walnut stock is also fitted with a silver plated brass buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good with 25% plus of the fading original blue remaining on the barrel, patterns of original case colors and silver plating remaining in the protected areas, and mostly smooth gray and brown patina overall along with some mild pitting mainly on the cylinder, one chipped nipple, and general mild wear. The loading lever has been repaired at the catch and refinished. The stock is very fine and retains most of the varnish and has mild scratches and dings. Mechanically fine.
