Manufactured in the 1880s with total production estimated at a few thousand. Adding to the rarity of this revolver is the factory engraving which consists of scrollwork and floral patterns with a doe panel scene on the left side plate. Matching serial numbers are found on the grip frame, rear face of the cylinder, and barrel lug. It has the two-line address/patent dates marking on the rib, "38 CAL" on the left side of the frame. It is fitted with a pair of smooth pearl grips.

Very fine, retains 80% plus of the original nickel finish with some scattered patches of light flaking revealing mostly a smooth brown patina, a few patches of light pitting, and crisp engraving overall. The grips are fine with a few hairline age cracks and a few scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
