Manufactured circa 1884 to 1895 with this example having a fine factory scroll and punch dot engraving, possibly by the Nimschke shop. The top of the barrel rib is stamped with the two line address/patent dates. The engraved scrollwork is featured on the sides of the barrel, barrel lug and frame. A fancy zig-zag line and dot engraving is featured on the top strap and around the hammer to extend down the upper portion of the back strap. Nickel plated with casehardened hammer and trigger, blue trigger guard and fitted with pearl grips.

Excellent. The revolver retains 95% original nickel finish showing some minor edge wear and some mild flaking. The hammer and trigger retain strong traces of original case colors and the trigger guard retains 70% original blue finish. The grips are very fine with some chipping on the bottom and a repaired chip at the top of the right panel. The pearl has a very attractive color. The engraving is crisp. Mechanically fine. An excellent and affordable investment quality Smith & Wesson revolver.
