Manufactured from 1865 to 1888 this No. 3 Vest Pocket Pistol has the two-line address and patent information on the top of the barrel and the matching serial number on the bottom of the barrel and on the left side of the grip frame. It is equipped with a cone front sight, integral notch rear sight, and a pair of smooth rosewood grips. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

Fine, retains 40% of the bright original high polish blue finish overall and 90% of the original nitre blue on the hammer and breech block with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina. The grips are very fine with a few light chips and hairline cracks and otherwise minor handling marks. The breech block spring is disengaged, otherwise mechanically fine.
