Manufactured between 1863 and 1865. The left side of the frame is marked "STARR.ARMS.Co.NEW.YORK." and the reverse is marked "STARR'S PATENT JAN. 15. 1856.". A small "C" proof is present on the barrel, top strap and frame, with "M" on the trigger guard and backstrap, and "M/ C" on the cylinder. The hammer well has been renumbered to match, with the barrel, barrel lug and cylinder all matching. Stamped with a pair of boxed cartouches on the sides of the smooth one piece oil finished grip.

Very fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing areas of mixed gray and brown patina, along with mild edge wear and handling marks. Bright original color is visible on the lever and hammer, turning silver in a few areas. Grips are also very fine, with some pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
