The sides of the barrel lug are engraved with a wire and dot pattern. The cylinder flats have a floral pattern engraving and the back strap has an engraved starburst at the top followed by a wire and dot motif down the length of the back strap. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the one line address and patent dates. The assembly number "17" is stamped on the frame (left side under the grip), barrel and cylinder.
