Only around 2,200 of these revolvers were manufactured around the mid-1870s as cartridge revolvers using percussion parts on hand and newly fabricated cartridge revolver components. They are generally numbered in the 100-3300 range like this revolver. It has a blade front sight, hammer notch rear sight, the one-line New York barrel address, naval battle cylinder scene, the two-line 1871 and 1872 patents on the left side of the frame, "38 CAL" on the left side of the trigger guard, matching serial numbers, "1" by the serial number on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap; and smooth one-piece style grips with wood spacers. Includes information relating to a prior sale of the revolver by Douglas R. Carlson's Antique American Firearms in 2016.
