Reportedly 2,000 of these revolvers were manufactured c. 1873-1875. It features a post front sight, the two-line Hartford barrel address, ejector fitted on the right side of the barrel, filled provisions for a loading lever, the 1871 and 1872 patent marking on the frame, stagecoach scene on the cylinder, "36 CAL" on the left side of the trigger guard, a loading gate on the conversion breech plate, centerfire hammer, and matching visible serial numbers.
Fine with 85% of the period retailer applied nickel finish, some of the base nickel plating showing through where the finish has flaked, mostly distinct markings, and minor overall wear. The grip is very fine and has most of the glossy varnish finish, some attractive grain, minor edge wear, and chips at the toe. Mechanically excellent.
