Description:

Manufactured from 1876 to 1877. The engraving consists mostly of decorative floral scrolls along with engraved geometric motifs throughout and an unusual leaf motif engraved on the back strap. The grips are numbered to a different revolver. Matching serial numbers are on the butt, cylinder, barrel and barrel latch. Comes with a leather flap holster.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining 60% period retailer nickel finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The engraving is crisp. The replacement grips are very good with a shallow surface chip on the bottom, minimal handling marks and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fair.
