Manufactured in the 1890s, without the typical floral pattern accents on the barrel and frame, this example shows a very scarce blue finish. Produced without sights, with the model and patent markings on the frame and the Chicago Firearms address on the side plate. The frame, side plate and turret cylinder are numbered to match. It is fitted with rare smooth pearl panels on the side plate and frame and a checkered hard rubber palm pad. Provenance: The TTT Collection

Very fine, retains 75% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina and some scattered very light surface pitting. The pearl scales are also very fine with some scattered light handling marks and the palm pad is very fine with some light fading and crisp checkering. Mechanically needs parts to function, firing pin assembly removed.
