Commonly referred to as the 1 1/2 New Model or 2nd issue 1 1/2, these revolvers were manufactured between 1868 to 1875. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the one line address and patent dates and the serial number is marked on the butt. The matching assembly number "48" is marked on the frame under the grips, the rear of the barrel lug and on the rear face of the cylinder. Blade front and notch rear sights, all nickel finish with casehardened hammer and trigger, and fitted with smooth ivory grips.

Excellent. The revolver retains 95% original nickel finish, with some very minor isolated pitting on the left side of the barrel. Overall there are a few light scratches and minor dings. The hammer retains 60% plus original bright case colors with some faded case colors still visible and a smooth gray patina on the balance. The grips are also excellent with a couple of minor age cracks, an attractive grain and a mellow patina. The barrel markings are sharp. The action is fine.
