The included factory letter confirms the nickel finish and caliber and shows the barrel length and grips as "Not Listed" generally meaning 7 1/2 inch and walnut respectively. It was shipped to E. C. Meacham Arms Co. of St. Louis, MO, on February 5, 1883. There is a factory refinish "&" marked on the right of the trigger guard. Patent markings on the frame are factory re-rolled.

Very fine as factory refinished, showing 95% plus factory reapplied nickel, light handling evidence, and faint cylinder drag line. The period replacement grips are fine with some age cracking and green coloration. Mechanically excellent.
