Manufactured from 1874 to 1878. Barrel rib legend ends with "RUSSIAN MODEL." The two-line re-issue patent date is marked on the topstrap just ahead of the large screw. The butt has a lanyard ring and a five-pointed star (star-stamped Russian). Right grip panel numbered to a different gun. Matching assembly number "6496" on the grip frame, cylinder, barrel, and barrel latch.

Fine, retaining 60% plus factory refurbished nickel plating with some pitting. Traces of original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The very good re-oiled grips have been modified during the revolver's service life to fit the needs of the owner. Mechanically excellent.
