The included factory letter lists this revolver with a 6 inch barrel, adjustable rear target sight, blue finish, and walnut grips when shipped on February 19, 1914 to the Phelps Dodge Mining Co. in Bisbee, Arizona. At the time of shipping, Phelps Dodge was running the Copper Queen Mine in Bisbee. This mine was likely the final destination for this pistol. The Copper Queen Mine was first opened when United States Army scout Jack Dunn found a deposit of lead carbonate while searching for a better water source than the one his unit had been drinking from. Dunn began working with a prospector named George Warren who promised to name Dunn as the main proprietor of any mines he founded. After running out on the deal with Dunn, Warren would loose his claims to the Copper Queen Mine through a series of drunken gambling blunders culminating in him betting that he could outrun a man on horseback. The mine would be run by Phelps Dodge from 1885 to 1975 where they would use their new methods of smelting to extract copper from the very rich ground. Ultimately the mine would close in 1975 and converted to be a tourist attraction in the area by offering mine tours. Included with the revolver is a lightly tooled leather holster with "4756/22 6" on the loop.

Very fine, retaining 90% plus original blue finish, some high edge wear, muzzle wear, scratches along the right side of the barrel, and a spot of light pitting on the sideplate. Grips are excellent with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Holster is very fine with some wear from use on the flap and a popped stitch. This would make a magnificent addition to any Americana collection!
