Outstanding Presentation Cased Factory Panel Scene Engraved Gold and Nickel Plated Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Medium Frame Double Action Two Barrel Set Revolver with Pearl Grips

Manufactured in the 1880s with total production estimated at a few thousand. This outstanding example features a factory engraving, two-tone gold and nickel plating, folding hammer spur, bird's head butt, and pearl stocks. Its two-tone finish, pearl stocks, and factory engraving add to its rarity. The engraving consists of scrollwork and floral patterns with a buck panel scene on the side plate and color filled dot pattern throughout. Matching serial numbers appear on the grip frame under the left grip panel, rear face of the cylinder, and barrel lug. It has the two-line address/patent dates marking on the rib and "38 CAL" on the left side of the frame. The 2 3/4 inch extra barrel in .38 caliber is engraved to match and is numbered to the gun. The period case holds the revolver and extra barrel along with a bore brush and three case keys. Per our consignor the revolver was received circa 1893 by Myron F. Silsby Sr. from the Cleveland Ohio Police Department for best shot. Provenance: Myron F. Silsby Sr.; Property of a Gentleman

ConditionExcellent, retaining 98% original nickel and gold plating. The engraving is crisp with nearly all of the enamel. The grips are also excellent with highly attractive fiery colors. Mechanically excellent. The extra barrel is also excellent. The case is fine. An exquisite factory game scene engraved, two-tone Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Medium Frame DA Revolver with extra matching short barrel that will make a grand statement to any American firearms collection.
