16,000 First Model New Line .22 revolvers were manufactured in the 1870s with short fluted cylinders and visible cylinder stop slots. This example was manufactured in 1876 and has the two-line address on top of the barrel, the matching serial number on the butt and inside each smooth grip panel, British proofs on the bottom of the barrel, and 50% coverage factory floral scroll engraving. This scarce early production example lacks the etched panel on the left side of the barrel, and the frame is silver plated.
