The factory conversion includes frame modifications to accept the two-piece cylinder. The barrel has the three-line patent/model marking and a slot for an absent front sight. The frame is blued. The hammer is casehardened. The remaining surfaces are nickel plated. The serial number is on the grip frame. The barrel has the conversion number "5267". Although difficult to read, the cylinder appears to have number "526." Provenance: The Robert Howard Collection; The Milan J. Turk Collection

Very fine, retaining 90% original combination nickel plating and 60% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. 97% original case colors remain on the hammer. The attractive undersized grips are fine with a series of grind like marks around the screw escutcheon and attractive grain and color. Mechanically excellent.
