Description:

These revolvers were only manufactured in 1865 and are very high quality. 5,000 of the estimated 5,800 manufactured were produced under contract for the U.S. Government but delivered too late to see use in the Civil War. Most were sold via Bannerman's in the early 20th century. This example has standard "B" inspection marks throughout and the "RPB" cartouche of inspector Captain R. P. Barry on the left grip. The barrel has a German silver cone front sight, and the top strap has the standard markings and the groove rear sight.

Rating Definition:

Fine with 40% bright original high polish blue finish, dark brown patina and light oxidation in the flaked areas, minor marks and scratches, and some light edge wear. The grips are also fine with raised wood grain, mild wear, a small chip on lower right, and a dent on the lower edges; strong oil finish, and crisp markings. Mechanically excellent.
