Manufactured from 1874 to 1878, with this example featuring quality near full coverage 20th century scroll engraving on a punch dot background. Amongst the scrollwork on the frame is a dog's head on the left side and an eagle's head on the right side. A blank inscription shield is engraved behind the hammer, cross hatching on the back strap at the top, and a fan motif on the front sight. The rib has the one-line address/patent dates marking ending with "RUSSIAN MODEL". The butt has a lanyard ring stud and is stamped with the Schuyler Hartley & Graham diamond retailer mark. Matching assembly numbers are on the grip frame, cylinder, barrel and barrel latch. The hammer, barrel latch, cylinder, and trigger are plated in gold, and the remaining surfaces are plated in silver.

Very fine as later professionally embellished. The revolver retains 99% reapplied silver and 97% reapplied gold with general loss mostly on the cylinder. The engraving is crisp. The grips are fine with a few stabilized cracks, a couple surface chips and fiery colors. Mechanically excellent. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
