Manufactured in 1874, this Single Action Army revolver features desirable and attractive period New York attributed engraving consisting mostly of floral scrollwork on a punch dot background, crosshatched patterns, and wavy line motifs. The masterfully executed, Nimschke pattern, New York engraving covers approximately 75% of the surfaces. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard one-line address. The left of the frame has the two-line patent dates. The matching serial number is visible on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap, and the partial matching serial number "3693" is on the cylinder. The loading gate has the assembly number "798". It is fitted with a blade front sight which has been period reattached, likely when the barrel was shortened from 7 1/2 inches, and a frame groove rear sight. It is fitted with a one-piece, smooth walnut grip.
