Norwich Pistol Company Spur Trigger Revolver with DeGress "Tiffany" Grips, Purse and Research

It is marked with the manufacturer followed by the caliber on the top barrel flat. The left barrel flat is marked with "PAT.D APR 23 1878", and the serial number "1638" is marked on the rear of the cylinder and the bottom of the grip straps below the left grip panel. It is fitted with the rare DeGress patent silver plated "Tiffany" grips with a scene of a dog chasing a rabbit under a tree and clouded sky on both sides. This same grip pattern is seen on page 13 of The Gun Reports January 1972 Issue in their article "The DeGress 'Tiffany' Grips" (a copy of which is included with the consignor research). Additional features include a brass blade front sight, frame groove rear sight, and five shot fluted cylinder. There is a loading groove on the right side of the frame. Includes a soft holster/purse.

Rating definitionFine. The revolver retains 75% of the nickel plating while the cylinder has a brown patina with bright cylinder rotation marks and the grips have an aged silver patina. There is some oxidation and minor marks. Mechanically fine.
