Manufactured in 1902. The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 4 3/4 inch barrel in .45 caliber, nickel finish, and type of stocks not listed when shipped to Norvell Shapleigh Hardware Co., St. Louis, Missouri, on September 27, 1902. Matching numbers on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. Internally, the hard rubber grips vertically carry the last four digits "2540" on the top flats. Comes with a floral tooled open top holster.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The revolver retains 70% original nickel finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The grips are fine showing some minor handling evidence and a few blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very good showing minor wear and replaced stitching.
