Eli Whitney Jr.'s Whitneyville Armory manufactured just 3,500 these revolvers in the 1870s. This example is a standard No. 1 revolver with a short fluted cylinder. The top of the barrel is marked "WHITNEYVILLE ARMORY CT. U.S.A." Matching serial numbers (most partial) are found on the barrel, cylinder, grips, and butt, and "II" is marked on the left side of the frame under the grip.

Excellent. This revolver appears to have never been fired and has only light storage marks. The case colors on the hammer and trigger are 75% intact. The grips have some minor edge wear and strong varnished finish. The action functions fine, and the markings are crisp.
