The included factory letter confirms the fixed sights, finish and checkered walnut grips. It was shipped on February 28, 1931 to Von Lengerke & Antoine of Chicago, IL. Matching serial numbers are found on the butt, right grip panel, ejector shroud and cylinder. An importer mark is stamped on the butt.

Excellent. The revolver retains 97% original blue finish with slight loss limited to muzzle wear and some thinning to a brown on the back strap. There is a cylinder drag line, a scuff mark on the ejector housing and a gash on the barrel near the breech. Nearly all of the original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are also excellent with a couple minor gouges and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. Provenance: Frank Staig.
