The right side of the barrel has the retailer inscription "T.W.WATSON/4. PALL MALL. LONDON." There are London proof marks on the underside of the barrel and each cylinder flute. The serial number is marked on the left side of the grip frame, bottom of the barrel, and "538" on the rear face of the cylinder. The left side of the frame is marked "41CAL C" for centerfire. It is fitted with a pair of smooth rosewood grips. Includes an oak presentation case with Watson Bros. interior label, cleaning rod, screwdriver, key, and oiler.

The grips are also fine with some scattered minor dings and dents. Mechanically excellent.
