Description:

Manufactured in 1861. The barrel has the two line New York address and the fluted cylinder has the 1850 patent date. The barrel is numbered to the gun. Fitted with a one piece grip. The aftermarket partitioned case also holds a powder flask, two bullet molds, lead balls and reproduction Eley Brothers cap tin.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The revolver retains traces of original blue finish with the balance a mottled gray patina. The grip is fine with a missing surface chip near the bottom, high edge wear and some minor handling marks. Mechanically fine. Case is of poor quality.
