Description:

Manufactured from 1877 to 1891. The revolver features a New York broad floral scroll engraving on a punch dot background along with zig zag line motifs. The two-tone finish consists of nickel plated barrel and frame and gold plated cylinder. The right grip panel features a "HL" initials monogram. Matching serial numbers are on the butt, cylinder, barrel and barrel latch.

Very good as period New York embellished. The barrel and frame retain 80% of the nickel plating. The cylinder retains traces of gold in the sheltered areas, otherwise having a bright appearance. Mechanically excellent. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
