Gauge: 9 mm
Barrel: 4 3/4 inch round
Finish: blue
Grip: walnut
Stock:
Item Views: 4687
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 109
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Manufactured from 1894 to 1923. Cylinder and ejector both numbered "28". Barrel numbered "259" with the number also on the ejector cut-out on the cylinder. Arsenal and model markings on side plate over serial number. Checkered hardwood grips with an unusual turquoise cloth lanyard attached to the lanyard swivel on the butt. With an original early leather clamshell holster with both the waist and shoulder straps.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 95% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina with some minor edge wear. There is limited minor pitting and some scattered minor spotting. There is a large chip missing on the left side of the grip at the bottom, otherwise the grips are very good with some scattered minor handling marks and a few minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering. Action needs work as the cylinder does not rotate properly when action is cycled. The holster is excellent with a nice dark brown color with some minor handling marks and flex wear on the leather flap hinge and latching strap.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The pistol retains 95% original blue finish with the grip straps and trigger thinned to a brown patina with some minor spotting and some minor edge wear. The small parts retain 30% original straw color. The grips are fine with a safety drag line and some minor dings and scratches. The holster is very good with some mold and some minor handling marks. The stitching is tight.
