Serial no. 70271, caliber .44. The 8? round barrel has a bore with good rifling and scattered fine pitting. All numbers match, including the wedge. The cylinder retains about 60% of the scene with a patch of light pitting over one chamber. This has a three screw frame cut for a shoulder stock. The barrel address and frame markings are in fine condition. The barrel has an old reblue that is now a mottled plum, the frame is a smooth dark gray, the cylinder is an even mix of blue and gray, the backstrap retains most of an old reblue, and the brass triggerguard has a honey-brown patina. The one piece walnut grip shows a couple of tiny marks on a good-looking refinish. The mechanism functions well with a heavier mainspring than standard. This has small military inspector’s initials on the metal and was a US Government purchase during the Civil War. This revolver was made in 1862.

This is an antique revolver and transfers with no federal restrictions.
