The accompanying factory letter indicates the revolver was shipped on June 1, 1913 and delivered to H.M. Pope. Standard frame markings. Barrel marked "H.M.POPE" on top with Pope number and calibration codes on bottom ("794/SB/16" and "2 7 35"). Matching serial number on the cylinder and butt. Fitted with a set of checkered Roper thumbrest grips. Provenance: The Dr. Gerald Klaz Collection

Very fine as H.M. Pope upgraded, retaining 80% plus original blue on the frame and cylinder and the majority of the thinning blue finish on the barrel. Some scratches throughout as well as some light spotting. The Roper grips are very good with a chip out of the right panel at the bottom, some dings and scratches, and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
