Dated "1881" on the barrel, with blued finish and fluted cylinder (distinctive to this model) fixed sights, matching numbers on many small parts, and checkered grips.

Fine, with 60% plus of the original blue finish, showing scattered spotting and scratches, a few areas of deeper pitting on the barrel and cylinder, edge wear and handling marks. A mixed gray/brown patina is present on the grip frame, with some barely noticeable denting at the front of the side plate where it meets the frame. The grips are also fine, with some scattered dings and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
