Description:

Manufactured from 1865 to 1868. Period New York style broad floral scroll engraving along with floral blossoms and entwining line patterns. Matching assembly marks on the grip frame, cylinder and barrel. The last three digits of the serial number are marked on the back of the checkered grips.

Rating Definition:

Very good as period New York engraved, retaining 20% original blue finish in and around the protected areas with the balance a smooth dark brown patina. Patterns of original case colors remain on the hammer. The grips are very fine with limited hairline age cracking on the bottom and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
