Manufactured from 1878 to 1892 this example has the rare dark red mottled S&W monogram grips. Pinned front sight and notch rear sight on the latch. The two line address/patent date marking is stamped on top of the barrel rib and V-shaped patent markings on the top strap. Matching serial number also on the butt, cylinder, latch and barrel. Included with the revolver is the original factory paper hinge box and cleaning rod.

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% original nickel finish with some minor flaking (mostly on the cylinder). The hammer retains vivid and bright original case colors. The screw heads still exhibit flashes of their original niter blue finish. The rare grips are also excellent with overall crisp checkering and a very attractive dark color scheme. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with some residue on the lid and some minor edge wear.
