Description:

One of approximately 9,000 manufactured from 1870 to 1890. It has the standard two-line address and "No2" model marking on the top barrel flat flanked by Maltese crosses. There are flourishes of floral scroll engraving on the sides of the frame and back strap. The matching serial number is on the butt and bottom of the barrel. It has standard features and is fitted with a pair of checkered walnut grips, both of which are hand numbered in ink to match the gun. Provenance: The Greg Lampe Collection

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 70% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina. 60% of the attractively aged original silver remains with the balance a smooth grey patina and the engraving crisp. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
