The serial number dates to 1881. The revolver has intricate scroll engraving patterns on the sides of the barrel, between the cylinder flutes, and most of the frame. There are also geometric designs including Nimschke style stars. It has the one line Hartford barrel address, three line patent marking on the left side of the frame, and matching serial numbers.

Fine as custom engraved, refinished, and remarked. The modern replacement grips are near mint with mild handling and storage wear. The action is excellent, and the markings and designs are crisp.
