Description:

Manufactured from 1861 to 1863. The top of the barrel is marked "D. MOORE.PATENT.SEPT. 18. 1860". Decorative broad scroll engraving on the silver-plated brass frame, trigger guard, recoil shields, butt and backstrap. Seven-shot cylinder with removable ejector rod mounted under the barrel. "R 27" is marked on the rear of the cylinder. Barrel and cylinder swing to right for loading.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrel and cylinder retain 50% original high polish blue finish with flaking loss from age not use, and showing an attractive smooth brown patina on the balance. The hammer retains 60% original beautiful case colors, concentrated on the left side. The remaining parts retain 70% original age darkened silver plating with an aged patina on the exposed brass. The grip is good with a repaired crack on the upper left side, 85% original varnish remaining and some scattered minor dents and dings. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
