The top barrel flat is marked "J. H. CRANE. LONDON", the left upper flat is marked with two British proof marks. The upper left front of the frame is marked "TRANTER'S/PATENT" over "6690". There is a British proof mark between every chamber on the cylinder, on the rear edge. Brass frame with floral scroll engraving and an engraved stacked "HCI" monogram on the back strap. Blade front and frame notch rear sights, and fitted with a smooth one-piece ivory grip. Complete with a wooden case with brass inset shield on the lid, blue felt lining, reproduction label affixed to the inside of the lid, four compartments, two with lids and ivory pulls, key and horn handled screwdriver.

Very good. The barrel retains 30% original blue finish mixed with smooth brown patina. The cylinder has a smooth brown patina. The brass shows an aged patina. The grips are also very good with a few minor dings and scratches, and an attractive patina in the grain. The engraving and markings are clear. The action is excellent. The case is very good as restored with a few minor chips and dents on the exterior and some minor staining on the lining.
