Fine Factory Panel Scene Engraved Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Medium Frame Double Action Revolver

Manufactured in the 1880s with total production estimated at a few thousand.

The left side of the frame has the 44 WCF caliber marking: "CALIBRE/WINCHESTER" followed by "1873." The serial number is stamped on the butt. Matching assembly number "9576" is on the grip frame, rear cylinder face, loading gate and barrel. Provenance: The Buckstix Collection

ConditionFine, retaining 50% plus original nickel plating with the balance a smooth gray patina. The engraving is crisp. Slight patterns of original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The age shrunken grips are good with a vertical period filled repair visible on the lower rear right panel. Mechanically functions excellent.
