Description:

The six shot fluted barrels are unmarked. The bar hammer is marked "RISK SMITH / LONDON". Both sides of the frame, nipple shield and backstrap are engraved with floral scroll. The bag shaped grips have steel escutcheons. The serial number is stamped on the left side of the trigger.

Rating Definition:

Very good. There are traces of the original blue in the flutes of the barrels the balance turning a mottled silver gray and brown. The frame and nipple shield show traces of original blue on the bottom where they are protected by the trigger guard. The back strap shows traces of original blue with the balance a mottled brown and gray. Mechanically needs a little work, the trigger return spring is weak.
