A very nice example of a post civil war early cartridge pistol
Condition: 3 ¼” nice mostly bright finish with strong lands and grooves. Just a tiny bit of oxidation and fouling.

The revolver is factory embellished with a nice flowing foliate scrollwork and punch dot shading. The frame still retains generous amount of the original silver plate throughout and thinning to a mild ocher brass beneath.
Original walnut grips are in good condition the original varnish thinning in spots, usual wear and tear for a revolver of this age.
Both grips are numbered to the gun. Mechanically the revolver cycles well with good indexing and firm cylinder lock-up
