Although there are no maker markings, Birmingham proofs are stamped on the upper left barrel flat and on the cylinder on each of the seven chambers at the rear. The cylinder locking bar is housed in the top strap, as found on the S&W Model No. 1. Simple double line border engraving is featured on the barrel, frame, back strap and butt. The barrel and cylinder are numbered to the gun. The grips are finely checkered, including the butt.

Fine, retaining 70% original polished blue finish with the balance a smooth brow-gray patina. The grips are also fine with a tiny chip near the butt (right panel) and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically needs work as the cylinder does not lock properly one of seven times when the hammer is cocked.
