Description:

Manufactured from 1876 to 1877. This outstanding example has matching serial numbers on the butt, right grip panel, cylinder, barrel, and barrel latch. Comes with a period leather bound and fitted case featuring royal purple velvet lining, a most rare set as very few of this model were ever cased.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 99% plus original nickel finish with some minor handling marks. 97% original case colors remain on the hammer. The grips are also excellent with minimal minor handling marks and crisp checkering overall. The case is very good with minor-moderate wear overall. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
