OE - GOOD - some minor replacement parts; metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned; principal lettering, numerals and design on metal legible; lightly scratched, bruised or minor cracks repaired; in good working order.

Manufactured in 1863 and subsequently cut-down to a much more concealable barrel length and equipped with a dovetailed German silver blade front sight and a piece of wood in the upper loading lever slot. The barrel still has the "S. AMERICA-" portion of the address visible. The other markings and features are standard, including matching serial numbers other than the wedge. Pistols of this style sometimes are called "Avenging Angels".

Good as period modified. The grip straps have patches of original silver plating in the protected areas and aged patina overall, and there are traces of blue finish and otherwise mostly gray and brown patina and some light pitting on the barrel, cylinder, and frame. The grip is very good and has mild lower edge wear, general scratches and dings, and light handling wear. Mechanically fine.
