Only 8,000 of these revolvers were manufactured in 1870-1872. It has the one-line address/patent date barrel rib marking, matching assembly numbers on the grip frame, cylinder, barrel and barrel latch and checkered grips. Many of these were carried by western icons including Buffalo Bill Cody as a showman and allegedly Wyatt Earp at the shootout at the O.K. Corral. Provenance: Gillespie collection.

Very fine. The revolver retains 85% plus original nickel finish showing some minor flaking mixed with a few small patches of pitting. There are a number of scratches on the cylinder. The grips are very fine with crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
