Manufactured in the 1850's and 60's. The left side of the frame is marked with the one line address and the one line Starr patent date is on the right side of the frame. The matching serial number is marked on the barrel, barrel lug, cylinder, frame in the hammer well, and on the inside of the hammer. MBH/ 0131340" has been scratched into the frame beneath the cylinder and on the front strap. Single letter inspection marks are stamped on several components. Blade front and hammer notch rear sights, blue finish with casehardened hammer, trigger and loading lever, and fitted with a smooth one-piece walnut grip with a sharp four letter cartouche on the left side and a three letter on the right.

Very fine. The revolver retains 75% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, strongest on the grip straps, forward portion of the barrel and trigger guard, showing some scattered handling marks and mild edge wear. The grip is excellent, with some minor dings concentrated mainly on the bottom. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
