Description:

Manufactured in the 1880s with total production estimated at several thousand. The revolver has the added rarity of featuring a factory floral and scroll engraving that incorporates an exceptionally executed tiger's head on the left side plate. The engraving is featured on the barrel, frame sides, and cylinder. It has the two-line address/patent dates marking on the barrel rib, "32 CAL" on the left side of the frame, loading gate and folding hammer spur. Comes with a tooled holster.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 85% original nickel finish with an area of mottled gray patina on the barrel and some scattered minor flaking. Traces of original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are excellent with limited minor scratches. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very good showing minor wear and an added hole near the top.
