Description:

Manufactured from 1868 to 1881. The sides of the barrel and frame are decorated with a New York floral scroll and punch dot engraving. The back strap has a simple line design and the cylinder flats have a simple floral design. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the one line address and patent dates, the serial number is marked on the butt and the matching assembly number "83" is marked on the right side frame toe under the grip, on the back of the barrel lug and on the front face of the cylinder. Blade front and frame notch rear sights, all nickel finish and fitted with smooth rosewood grips with the matching serial number stamped on the inside of the right panel.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 85% nickel finish with scattered minor flaking, some high edge wear and some oxidation on the cylinder. The grips are excellent with 90% original varnish remaining, some high edge wear and some scattered minor dings and dents. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. The cylinder does not lock up, otherwise the action functions well.
