This is an example of a First Model revolver manufactured circa 1858 to 1867 with less than 1,000 produced. The top barrel flat is marked "BACON MFG CO NORWICH CONN" and the frame features a scroll engraving. The 5-shot cylinder has the five panel roll sporting scene engraving. Matching serial number on frame under left grip, barrel, and loading lever. Fitted with smooth varnished grips.

Fine. The barrel retains 40% original blue finish and the frame and grip straps retain 30% original blue finish, with the overall balance between a smooth gray patina and a smooth brown patina. The cylinder retains most of the scene and has a mixed gray patina. The loading lever and hammer retain traces of original case colors. The grips are very fine with most of the varnish remaining and some minor handling marks.
