The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 3 1/4 inch barrel, nickel finish, and checkered hard rubber grips when shipped on April 30, 1881, to M.W. Robinson Co., New York City. The engraving and pearl grips were likely added by the Robinson Co. to fill a special order. The revolver features near full coverage engraving consisting of floral scrollwork, vines and zig zag line and dot motifs. Matching numbers on the butt, barrel, barrel latch, and cylinder. The period factory box features a correct model end label.

Very fine, retaining 90% of the nickel finish with flaking on the balance. The grips are very fine with a short hairline crack (right panel) and some scattered handling evidence. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine showing some minor wear, stains, and a repaired corner. Nearly all of the end label remains.
