Description:

Manufactured in 1905 with standard markings and features. Matching numbers on the frame, trigger guard, back strap. The cylinder is unnumbered and the loading gate marked with assembly number "2480". The included factory letter confirms the current configuration as well as shipment to Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. of Chicago, Illinois on 27 January 1905.

Rating Definition:

Very good, retains 75% plus original blue finish on the barrel and 50% original case colors with the balance a smooth grey patina concentrated mainly on the grip straps and within the trigger guard. The cylinder, ejector rod housing, and grip straps are all either refinished or touched up. The replacement grip is very good with only the slightest handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
