Description:

German silver blade front and hammer notch rear sight. Standard "MOORES PAT. FIRE ARMS Co. BROOKLYN N.Y." mark on top of the barrel and "D. WILLIAMSON'S PATENT JANUARY 5, 1864" around the rear edge of the cylinder. Blue barrel and cylinder and silver plated brass frame with scroll and punch dot engraving. Smooth bird's head grips, with "BS15" on the inside of the right grip and the left side of the back strap.

Rating Definition:

Very good, with approximately 85% of the bright original high polish blue finish. A mixed gray patina is visible, concentrated around the muzzle and down the sides of the barrel, along with some light spotting and handling marks. The near mint original silver is excellent (with 99% plus remaining), turning a dark aged patina. Grips are excellent plus, with some extremely minor dings. Excellent action.
