Manufactured from 1874-78 and later engraved by Firearms Engravers Guild of America member Rachel Wells. The floral scroll pattern on a punch dot backgrounds covers roughly 70% of the surface, and is signed "RACHEL WELLS" on the butt. Matching serial numbers on the butt and right grip panel, and the number "7944" is stamped on the cylinder, barrel and barrel latch. The barrel rib has the one-line address/patent dates marking that ends with "RUSSIAN MODEL."

Fine as professionally embellished. Overall, the revolver has a bright appearance with some very scattered light pitting. The engraving is crisp. The refinished grips are fine with a couple minor handling marks. Mechanically fine.
