Only approximately 250 of these 3 inch barrelled No. 1 Knuckle Dusters were manufactured in 1875. This example falls at the tail end of the 11833-12019 known range for this variation and has a five-shot cylinder, post and groove sights, standard scroll engraving, and "MY FRIEND PATD. DEC. 26,1865" on the left side of the top strap. The brass frame is designed to be used a brass knuckle for hand to hand fighting if the five .32 caliber bullets were not enough to dissuade an assailant.
