Unlike a traditional revolver, these transitional revolvers do not lock the cylinder in place and instead rely on properly timed double action mechanisms to ensure the chamber is properly lined up with the barrel for each shot. It has fine English scroll and floral engraving, a right offset bar hammer to allow viewing of the small German silver bead front sight, "MANTON LONDON" marked on top of the barrel, 1-6 marked on the side of the cylinder between the chambers, Birmingham proofs on the barrel and cylinder, and checkered walnut grips.

Exceptionally fine, retains 95% original high polish blue finish on the barrel and 90% plus vivid case colors with some light fading on the back strap, and sharp engraving. The trigger guard retains 40% original. Grips are excellent with crisp checkering, and a few light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
