Description:

Manufactured between 1868 to 1875. The frame, cylinder flats and front and rear sides of the barrel are engraved with floral scroll designs. Each side of the center of the barrel has a flower and there is scallop bordering on the frame and back strap. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the one line address and patent dates and the serial number on the butt. Blade front sight with notched rear sight. Tip up frame with spur trigger and 5-shot fluted cylinder. All nickel finish with casehardened hammer and fitted with smooth ivory grips, which are numbered to the gun.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 70% original nickel finish with some minor oxidation beginning to form on the cylinder flats and around the barrel hinge. The cylinder retains half of the nickel. There are a few scattered minor dings. The hammer has a smooth mottled gray patina. The grips are fine with a pleasant mustard patina and a couple hairline age cracks around the screw escutcheon. The markings and engraving are clear and crisp. There is a little play in the hinge, otherwise the action is very good.
