The accompanying factory letter confirms the caliber, pearl grips, and factory engraving with the type of finish "not listed." The revolver was shipped to B. Kittridge & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 13, 1876, as part of a five gun shipment. The overall factory engraving is Germanic in the style of Gustav Young's shop, featuring floral scrollwork and punch dot backgrounds. The serial number is marked on the frame and barrel. The cylinder has the matching partial serial number "381" on the rear face. The top of the barrel has the two line address, and the left side of the frame is marked "41 CAL." Nickel finish and gold plated cylinder flutes. Fitted with smooth bird head pearl grips.

Fine. The revolver retains 50% plus original nickel plating and hints of original gold plating in the cylinder flutes with the balance a smooth gray patina. There is some minor pitting on the cylinder. The grips are also fine with some chipping near the top (right panel). Mechanically excellent.
