Manufactered from 1868 to 1875, this example features the rare and highly desirable short barrel. The left side on the barrel is properly stamped with the one line Springfield address and patent dates (ending in Nov. 12, 1865) marking (standard length barrel has markings on top of the barrel rib). Pinned blade front sight, 5-shot fluted cylinder and nicely figured bird head grips. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun.
