Description:
The revolver is decorated with profuse Gustave Young style floral scroll engraving on a punch dot background covering the frame sides, back strap, barrel sides and cylinder. Three panel scenes, a dog leaping out of the scrollwork on both sides of the frame, and a dog head is featured behind the hammer. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun.
Rating Definition:
Very fine, retaining 98% original nickel finish with crisp engraving. The grips are excellent with a few minor handling marks and attractive grain and aged appearance. Mechanically needs work as cylinder does not lock due to broken stop spring which is easily replaced.
