These revolvers were the successor to the Model 1892-1903 New Army and New Navy revolvers and sported a more modern frame style with a rounded cylinder thumb latch. The accompanying factory letter verifies the .38/c caliber, 6" barrel, blue finish, with grips as "Not Listed" and that it was shipped to M. Hartley Co., New York, NY on November 3, 1910 in a 6 gun shipment. Wearing steer head carved mother of pearl grips. Includes period custom made wood hinged case wearing a silver plated plaque inscribed "J.D. CARDINELL".

ConditionExcellent, retaining 95% bright original high polish blue finish with light cylinder drag line and backstrap thinning to a brown. Highly attractive pearl grips with a couple surface chips and a repair on the rear of left panel. Wood case is very good showing handling and storage marks with replaced lining.
