Manufactured from 1863 to 1867. Two line New Haven address marked on top of the barrel that is manufactured without a front sight. Spur trigger, checkered hammer, and smooth bird head grips. Barrel, frame, and left grip panel serial numbers match.

Rating Definition:

Fine with the frame retaining approximately 90% of the silver plating and the barrel retaining strong amounts of nickel in the protected areas with minor pitting.

Very good as partially refinished with the frame retaining virtually all of the current silver plating. The barrel exhibits a smooth mottled gray patina. The grips are very fine with some minor scratches and a few light dings, chips and dents. The markings are clear. The action is very good.
