This revolver falls into the known transitional range (10000-20000) and has the old style markings and German silver cone front sight and the newer style loading lever and cylinder pin. Small single letter inspection marks are on most of the components and the left grip is marked with script cartouche. The serial numbers on the bottom of the barrel and left side of the grip frame match. 106,000 New Model Army revolvers were purchased by the Union during the Civil War. It was second only to Colt's Model 1860 Army in use during the war.

Very good. The loading lever and protected areas of the frame retains strong traces original case colors and the hammer is rich case colors. The balance displays gray and brown patina and some light oxidation. The grips are very good and have mild handling wear and some minor chips. Most of the markings are clear.
