Description:

Manufactured in 1868 to 1881 with this example exhibiting a New York retailer applied engraving. The scroll engraving decorates the sides of the barrel and frame, cylinder flats, and top of back strap. The both pearl grip panels are numbered to the gun. The included partitioned case is lined in velvet.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrel and cylinder retain 95% plus original nickel plating and the cylinder has a smooth gray patina. The engraving is crisp. The grips are also very fine with a couple hairline cracks and highly attractive fiery colors. Mechanically excellent. The relined case is very good with a number of handling/storage marks and faded lining.
