Manufactured between 1906 and 1909 as a standard Target Model and subsequently upgraded with a Pope barrel. The barrel is marked "H.M.POPE" on the top and has Pope number "206" on bottom. Oversized extension target style grips. Matching serial numbers on the cylinder, butt, and the included original matching number barrel. Also includes a hardwood case with brass furniture, two cleaning rods, and hardwood grip adaptor. The accompanying factory letter indicates the revolver was shipped on January 12, 1910 and delivered to E.G. Koenigs & Sons (location not listed). Provenance: The Dr. Gerald Klaz Collection

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally upgraded. 75% original finish on the frame and cylinder, some scattered areas of spotting, cylinder drag line. The grips are very good as ill-fitting with some dings and scratches. The case is good with moderate wear and a crack through the top. The extra barrel shows 95% original finish. Mechanically excellent.
