Manufactured after the Civil War. The revolver features a highly desirable and rare L.D. Nimschke New York engraving. Masterful scrollwork on a stippled background indicative of work by Nimschke is profusely featured on the frame, cylinder, and rear barrel section, and additional engraved motifs appear on the back strap, around the barrel rib marking, and at the muzzle. A mythical beast head is amongst the scrollwork on the right side of the frame. Similar scrollwork along with the beast head is documented in a collection of Nimschke's pulls gathered by R.L. Wilson in "L.D. Nimschke Firearms Engraver" (page 44). British proofs are stamped on the cylinder and barrel. The right grip panel is numbered to the gun. Matching assembly marks are on the grip frame, barrel, and cylinder. Comes with a period partitioned mahogany case.
