This revolver falls into the Civil War serial number range. Although popular with Union officers, the Model No. 2 was never officially adopted by the U.S. Army. The top of the barrel is marked with the Springfield address and the cylinder marked "PATENTED APRIL 3, 1855, JULY 5, 1859 & DEC 18, 1860." around the center. The serial number is marked on the butt and inside of the right grip panel. Six round unfluted cylinder, smooth spur trigger, casehardened checkered hammer, with smooth rosewood grips on a square butt.

Fine. The revolver retains 40% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. The grips are fine showing a small surface chip missing (right panel) and some minor handling marks with most of the varnish remaining. Mechanically fine.
