Manufactured in the 1890s with a rebated barrel and a band of floral engraving, removable side plate with a checkered pattern around the edge. "THE PROTECTOR PAT.MCH.6.83.AUG.29.93" is marked on the center of one side plate and "CHICAGO FIRE ARMS CO. CHICAGO, ILL" on the other. Checkered pattern around the outer edge of one panel and a floral leaf design engraving on the other. All serial numbers match.

Very fine. The pistol retains 90% plus unpolished original nickel finish with a smooth dark brown patina on the balance. The side panels and grip pad remain fine, also with crisp checkering. The markings are sharp. The action is excellent.
