Class: Antique
Description:

Introduced in 1878. Matching serial numbers on the barrel, barrel latch, right grip panel, and butt. The cylinder bears no serial number but is marked with a "." on the cylinder face and extractor star, likely meaning that this was a factory replacement. Factory refinish star on the butt and "10.11" (October, 1911) factory return date under left grip. This revolver is from the collection of country music icon Hank Williams Jr. and includes a certificate of authenticity confirming his ownership. Provenance: The Hank Williams Jr.'s Collection

Rating Definition:

Excellent as factory refinished, retaining 98% nickel finish, light handling evidence, and some areas showing light frosting. The grips are very good with brown discoloration and well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
