Manufactured circa 1878-1892. This revolver is engraved in the Nimschke style with floral scroll and punch dot background on the sides of the frame with intersecting arks with punch dots on the barrel, cylinder flats and back strap. This is probably the smallest coverage that can be found on a Nimschke style gun. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the two line address/patent dates and the top strap is marked with the V-shaped patent marking. The matching serial number is marked on the butt, rear face of the cylinder, barrel latch and in the top strap cut out. The left side of the front strap is stamped "764'" under the grip. Blade front and notch rear sights, all silver finish with casehardened hammer and fitted with checkered hard rubber grips the intertwined "S&W" at the top.

Very good as New York embellished/finished retaining almost all of the silver with just the slightest wear on the right side of the pivot knuckle. The silver has darkened with age overall and shows some bright areas from handling in recent years. The hammer retains most of the original bright case colors. The grips are excellent with some light handling marks and crisp checkering. The engraving and markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically fine.
