Description:

Produced without sights, the barrel features an integrally forged six inch flat clip knife blade, with the bore running through the half-octagonal spine, light engraving on the upper flats, and "DUMONTHIER" on the left side. The frame and cylinder show fine light scroll engraving, the former fitted with a folding trigger and bobbed hammer, the latter marked with an oval Liege proof and accented with an inlayed gold border line on the leading edge. Fitted with a set of fine checkered gutta percha grips with raised accents.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The frame and cylinder show a mixed brown and gray patina with 50% of the bright original blue present on the cylinder. The blade has been polished to a mixed gray, with some light spotting and traces of what appears to be a differential temper line on the left side. The grips are very good, with a few dings and sharp details. Mechanically fair.
