Manufactured from 1868 to 1881 with this example featuring a New York style engraving. The sides of the barrel and frame feature a scrollwork on a punch dot background. The sides of the barrel lug are engraved with a wire and dot pattern. The cylinder flats have a floral pattern engraving and the back strap has an engraved starburst at the top followed by a wire and dot motif down the length of the back strap. The top of the barrel rib is marked with the one line address and patent dates. The assembly number "17" is stamped on the frame (left side under the grip), barrel and cylinder. Fitted with nicely figured rosewood bird head grips.

Excellent plus. The revolver retains 98% original nickel finish. The grips are excellent with nearly all of the varnish remaining and a few very scattered light handling marks. The engraving is crisp. Mechanically excellent. A beautiful ultra high condition 1st 3rd.
