Description:

Six shot ribbed barrel cluster with shotgun type hammer, scroll floral engraved frame and removable nipple shield and zigzag border on the backstrap. Side plate on the right side. Marked "ALLEN & THURBER WORCESTER" on a rib and "CAST STEEL" on another rib. Matching serial number on frame, barrel and underneath each grip.

Rating Definition:

Good. The barrel cluster has smooth brown patina with dark patina in the protected areas and smooth gray patina on the ribs. The frame and nipple shield retain traces of original blue around the trigger, otherwise exhibit a smooth gray patina. There is some minor pitting on the hammer and barrel cluster near the nipples. The grips are very good with some minor dings and scratches. Action needs some adjustment, but functions.
