Only 8,000 of these revolvers were manufactured in 1870-1872. It has the one-line address/patent date barrel rib marking and matching serial numbers on the butt and right grip panel, and matching assembly numbers on the grip frame, cylinder, and barrel. Many of these were carried by western icons including Buffalo Bill Cody as a showman and allegedly Wyatt Earp at the shootout at the O.K. Corral.

Fine. The revolver retains 50% of the original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina with cold blue touch up on cylinder. Traces of original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are fair with a sanded/modified replacement left panel and some minor-moderate dings. Mechanically functions fine, but needs adjustment on one cylinder stop.
