Manufactured c. 1873-1888 as a cartridge revolver and engraved with scrollwork, wavy line, and dot patterns on the frame at the factory. The matching serial number is on the bottom of the barrel, trigger guard, grips, and grip frame. The barrel has a "pinched" blade front sight and the standard three-line markings. The top strap groove is the rear sight.

Exceptionally fine with 70% bright original high polish blue finish (strongest on the barrel and cylinder), strong original case colors on the hammer, patches of original silver on the trigger guard, aged patina on the exposed brass, crisp markings and engraving, some minor oxidation/pitting, cylinder drag lines, and mild overall wear. The grips are very fine and have light edge wear, a small flake on the upper right, and light dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
