This Merwin, Hulbert & Co. large frame, double action revolver has a top strap, round barrel, fluted cylinder, and bird's head butt and was manufactured in the 1880s by Hopkins & Allen. The revolver has a full nickel plated finish with casehardened hammer, trigger, and trigger guard. The barrel has an integral half-moon front sight, and the top strap has a sighting groove. The top of the barrel has the standard Merwin, Hulbert & Co. address, and the Hopkins & Allen address is on the left. The left side of the frame under the cylinder is marked "CALIBRE/WINCHESTER" followed by "1873". The matching assembly number "5372" is on the barrel lug, rear face of the cylinder, inside the right grip, and left of the grip frame. The serial number is marked on the right of the grip frame.

Excellent, retains 90% plus of the original nickel finish and 75% of the vibrant original case colors with some light handling marks and small patches of light flaking scattered throughout. The grips are also excellent with some scattered light blemishes in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
