Catalog Page: 211
Class: Antique
Description:

Manufactured from 1865 to 1868. The revolver features New York style scrollwork engraving on a punch dot background on the frame, cylinder, sides of the barrel at the muzzle and breech and behind the hammer. Matching assembly marks are on grip frame, barrel and cylinder. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining 70% thinning original blue finish with smooth gray patina on the grip straps. Patterns of original case colors remain on the hammer. The engraving is crisp. The grips are also fine with minor dings and scratches and retaining most of the original finish. Mechanically needs work as the cylinder does not rotate when action is cycled.
