Description:

Manufactured between 1865 to 1868. Features high quality floral scroll engraving present on the barrel, frame, back strap, top strap, butt and cylinder. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the standard two line address/patent dates marking and the serial number on the butt. The barrel, frame (left side under the grip) and cylinder have the same assembly "C10" marking. Blade front sight, tip up frame with spur trigger and 5-shot unfluted cylinder. Blue finish with silver plated frame, casehardened hammer and smooth ivory grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The cylinder and barrel retain 40% plus of the blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. The frame retains 95% of the aged darkened original silver. The grips are very fine showing a few minor handling marks and a number of hairline age cracks on the bottoms. The ivory has a very attractive aged color. The engraving is crisp. Mechanically fine.
