The frame dates to 1874 and has the two-line patent dates marking followed by "US" on the left side. The top of the barrel has the early one-line address (faint). This revolver has the mixed numbers and components typical of the Artillery variants. Single letter inspector marks are found on the cylinder (A) and both grip straps (G), and traces of a cartouche are found on the grip.

Good. The revolver has a mottled gray patina with some scattered minor pitting. The ejector rod has a non-factory replacement head. The re-varnished grip is good with a few minor pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
