Manufactured from 1872 to 1874. It has the one-line address/patent dates barrel rib marking, provision for a lanyard ring (filler screw) on the butt, right grip panel numbered to the gun, and matching assembly numbers on the grip frame, cylinder, barrel and barrel latch.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus. The barrel and frame retain 60% original blue finish and the cylinder retains traces of original blue finish with the overall balance a smooth brown patina. The grip straps are mostly a smooth gray patina. Some original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are fine with high edge wear and some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
