Manufactured from 1865 to 1868. The period New York engraving consists of floral scroll work on a stippled background. The sides of the barrel have a bold entwining line motif. A blossom is engraved on the top strap and barrel rib. The cylinder is plated in gold, and the remaining surfaces are plated in silver. Matching assembly marks are on the grip frame, barrel and cylinder. Comes with a french fitted case containing an empty cartridge block and a blank inscription plaque on the exterior of the lid.

Fine as period New York engraved. The cylinder retains 60% original gold plating. The barrel and frame retain 95% original silver plating. The engraving is crisp. The case is very good with a crack on the lid, minor handling/storage marks, and typical high edge wear on the lining. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
