The butt is marked "U.S./ARMY/MODEL/1892/No./4067". The matching serial number is stamped on the underside of the barrel, inside of frame, on the crane, rear face of cylinder, cylinder release and butt. There are "R.A.C." inspection marks on the underside of the barrel, rear face of the cylinder, left side of the frame and butt of left grip. Fitted with a pair of smooth walnut grips with "1893/DMJ" cartouche on left grip and "RAB" cartouche on right grip.
