There were seven variations of medium frame revolvers produced during the 1880s by Hopkins & Allen for Merwin, Hulbert & Co. This example has the desirable folding hammer, checkered grips, and standard markings and features including matching serial numbers on the barrel lug, cylinder, grip frame, and right grip panel.

Very fine, retaining 90% original nickel finish, most of the nickel finish has taken on an aged/frosted appearance, scattered light spotting, some scratching on the frame, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent.
