Factory Panel Scene Engraved Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Pocket Army Single Action Revolver

Manufactured circa 1876 into the 1880s, this Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Pocket Army single action revolver features a round barrel, fluted cylinder and bird's head butt. The revolver is profusely engraved with the distinctive Merwin, Hulbert & Co. style with a round panel on the left side of the frame which features a dog head. The left side of the frame under the cylinder is marked "CALIBRE/WINCHESTER" followed by "1873" and the right side of the frame is marked "MERWIN, HULBERT & CO. N.Y./POCKET ARMY". The left side of the barrel has the two-line Hopkins & Allen address/patent date marking. The barrel, frame sides, cylinder flats, and top of the back strap feature a fine floral/floral vine and punch dot engraving. The left rear of the frame has a geometric design. A simple punch dot scroll pattern is engraved on the sliding loading gate. The serial number is stamped on the right of the grip frame. The left of the grip frame, rear face of the cylinder, back of the barrel lug, and the cylinder pin have the assembly number "3023". It is fitted with a pair of smooth grips, both numbered "43".

ConditionFine, retains 80% of the original nickel finish and strong traces of the original case colors with the balance having thinned or flaked to a mostly bright grey patina and some scattered very light surface pitting. The grips are very good showing numerous hairline age lines throughout and some darkening. Mechanically excellent.
