Description:

Manufactured circa 1868 to 1881. It features attractive acanthus scrollwork engraving with punch dot backgrounds and smooth grips that are hand numbered to the gun. The other markings and features are standard including the matching assembly numbers. The case contains a key and a mostly full late 19th century Union Metallic Cartridge Company box for 100 .22 "No. 1" cartridges.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall with 85% of the original nickel plating on the frame and barrel, dark gray-brown patina on the balance, crisp engraving and markings, and smooth grips with attractive natural tones and grain and some slight age cracking. The relined case is very good with mild storage wear including tearing of the lining. The ammunition box is very good and is contained in a plastic wrapping. The label indicates 87 cartridge remain within.
