It comes in an English fitted mahogany case with a flask, cartridge pack, lead balls, L-shaped combination tool, bullet mold, and cap tin.

Very fine, near excellent overall with 90% original blue finish on the barrel, 30% original blue on the cylinder, 85% original case colors, 25% original silver plating concentrated around the trigger guard bow, nearly all the varnished finish on the grip, aged patinas on the silver and exposed brass, light edge wear and dings on the grip, smooth gray patina on the flaked areas, and minimal minor oxidation. Mechanically excellent. The case and accessories are very good-fine with mild storage wear and some minor cracks in the case.
