Description:

The top barrel flat is marked "CAP SYSTEM MANUFACTURED BY W. SCHNORRENBERG," and the cylinder has a Brooklyn Bridge scene. The number "5" is marked on the right side of the frame, and various proofs are found on the major components. Casehardened hammer and frame, silver plated grip straps, and remaining surfaces are blue.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 75% original blue finish with the balance a mix of smooth brown and gray patinas. Nearly all of the cylinder scene remains. The frame and hammer retain 90% original case colors. The grip straps retain 70% original silver finish. A number "1" in black vinyl is on the butt. The slightly ill-fitting grip is very good with some chipping along the back strap. Mechanically excellent.
