Manufactured circa 1868-1881. The sides of the barrel and frame are engraved with New York style floral scroll and punch dot designs. The top of the back strap has the same design and there is a simple line and dot design below that. The cylinder flats have a leaf design and the sides of the barrel lug have a star burst. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the one line address and patent dates with a scallop border. The serial number is marked on the butt and the matching assembly number (S44) is on the right toe under the grip, the front face of the cylinder and rear of the barrel lug. Nickel finished with gold washed cylinder and ejector pin, and casehardened hammer. Fitted with smooth pearl grips with a stylistic "R" scratched into the top on the inside of each panel and the serial number at the bottom.

Very fine. The revolver retains 95% nickel finish and 80% thinning gold finish. There is a small amount of minor pitting on the top of the barrel rib. The hammer retains 75% original bright case colors with a smooth gray on the balance. The grips are excellent with only light handling marks. The engraving and markings are clear. The action is fine.
