Produced by Bacon Manufacturing Co. under the Continental trade name, with only around 800 produced. Produced without sights, with "CONTINENTAL ARMS CO. NORWICH.CT/PATENTED AUG. 28, 1866" marked on the cylinder, with the serial number on the rear face. Checkered hammer and spur trigger, with a flared butt and smooth grips.

Fine. The barrel shows traces of the original blue, concentrated in the flutes, with areas of brown and gray patina, mild spotting, and bright edge wear. The frame and cylinder have been gently cleaned, with a mixed gray patina and mild spotting overall. Grips are good, with a few small dents. Mechanically very good.
