Manufactured from 1874 to 1878 with this example having a 20th century engraving and gold plating. The engraving consists of profuse floral scrollwork on a punch dot background. The scrollwork surrounds an engraved eagle on the side plate. The engraving has a spurious "LDN" signature near the eagle. Matching assembly numbers are on the grip frame, cylinder, barrel and barrel latch. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun.

Very fine as professionally embellished, retaining 97% plus of the gold plating showing scattered high edge wear. 60% of the case colors remain on the hammer. The grips are excellent with limited handling evidence. Mechanically excellent. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
