The No. 1 1/2 Second Issue revolvers were manufactured from 1868 to 1875. This example has 75% plus coverage fine New York scroll, punch dot, and geometric engraving patterns; attractive smooth grips, and standard sights and markings, including matching assembly numbers. The right grip is hand numbered "39809."

Very fine. 90% of the nickel finish remains. There is some light spotting, oil staining, and minor pitting. The grips are fine and have attractive natural tones, a chip on the heel of the right panel, and minor handling wear. It mechanically needs work; the hammer does not lock up at full or half-cock. The case is good with a repair at the latch, minor handling/storage marks, and high spot wear and staining on the generally faded lining.
