Manufactured in Germany, this is an example of the firearms artistry produced by that nation's oldest firearms manufacturer. Nearly all of the metal surfaces of this revolver have been embellished with masterfully laid out flowing tight scroll which intricately flows from one surface to the other including the hammer and front sight. The barrel is inlaid with a gold band at the muzzle and at the frame, gold inlaid barrel markings, wire border around and on the ejector rod housing, frame, hammer, recoil shield, and loading gate borders with scrolled accents. The frame is also inlaid with six beautiful and excellently detailed animals creating a game scene on either side of the frame consisting of a pointer and two ducks on the left and a fox and a pair of pigeons on the right which are interspersed amongst the deeply cut engraving. The cylinder is engraved and inlaid to match the frame and barrel with the addition of floral scroll ring motifs between the cylinder stops flanked by one thick and one thin gold inlaid band. Import marked on underside of topstrap. The one piece grip has been beautifully relief carved on both sides with a bison skull surrounded by "THE/WESTERNER". Though the engraving and carving is unsigned, both are clearly the work of a skilled artisan. Includes a correct styrofoam box.
