Manufactured from 1866 to 1869 with this example engraved. The pivoting barrel has a half moon front sight with the top flat marked "SOUTHERNER" and the left flat marked "MERRIMACK ARMS & MFG CO/NEWBURYPORT, MASS./PATENTED APRIL 9, 1867." The frame has a scroll and punch dot engraving covering the sides. Silver plated brass frame and blue finished barrel. The grips are smooth ivory with a square butt. Matching numbers on the butt, barrel and extractor.

Fine. The barrel has 40% faded original blue finish, mixed with areas of smooth gray with minor handling marks and scattered brown spotting overall. The frame is fine, with the original silver remaining in the protected areas and an attractive patina on the exposed brass, with a darker tone inside the engraving. Mechanically very good. Grips are fine, with beautiful color and grain.
