Historic deluxe velvet-lined display cased percussion revolver, finely and extensively engraved in the hand of L.D. Nimschke in our opinion, having belonged to William H Brewer, noted geologist and explorer of the
Western United States, 7 1/2" octagon barrel, blue and case hardened finish with traces of gold wash on the rammer and approx. 80% original silver plating to the trigger guard and taffy colored patina to the brass
backstrap; finely raised carved snake and eagle ivory grips. The gun is in overall very good condition showing traces of original blue in protected areas, traces of original gold wash on the rammer, approx. 97% original
cylinder scene, very good bore, crisp action, sharp markings and classic Nimschke engraving on the frame, barrel, rammer, hammer, backstrap and trigger guard; the grips are outstandingly accomplished, showing
aging, wear and some age cracking on the butt areas but overall very good; accompanied by a carved leather period California Slim Jim holster, belt with engraved silver buckle and mountings, brass powder flask and iron
