Manufactured in 1874 as a First Model with the short cylinder flutes and stop slots on the outside. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address marking flanked by Maltese crosses and the left of the frame is marked "41CAL". This specific revolver has been factory engraved with near full coverage floral scroll and geometric designs. The matching, early production serial number is on the left side of the grip frame, bottom of the barrel, rear face of the cylinder, and inside each grip panel. It otherwise has standard features of an early production First Model.

Fine, retains 70% of the original nickel finish with the balance having thinned/flaked to mostly a smooth grey patina with some scattered light pitting, primarily on the front of the cylinder. The slightly undersize grips are also fine with a few scattered hairline cracks due to age. Mechanically excellent.
