Manufactured in 1862 and one of approximately 6,500 later converted to cartridge configuration circa 1873-1875. The barrel has the standard two-line address and the two patent dates are marked on the left of the frame. Matching serial number "8259" marked on the barrel lug, frame, trigger guard, and butt. "2456" marked on the loading gate. Unnumbered cylinder.

Excellent, retaining 90% plus original nickel finish with a patch of flaking under the rear of the barrel, and clear markings in the metal overall. Grip is very fine with some scattered light scratches, a patch of mild gouges on the right panel, and some light crazing at the bottom edges. Mechanically excellent.
