CONDITION: Very good. The grip frame retains patches of the original silver plating in the protected areas and has aged patina on both the silver and the exposed brass. The balance of the revolver has been polished and displays a mix of silver-gray and gray patina along with crisp engraving, some patches of mild pitting, and generally mild age and storage related wear. The grip is also fine and has distinct checkering and carving with some softening, moderate handling wear, a strike mark and small chip on the left side, minor
age cracks in the butt, and attractive natural aged coloration and grain. Mechanically fine. The relined case and accessories are very good and have mild age and storage related wear, including some repairs on the case interior and dents. The is a very attractive and interesting cased set that likely saw use in the American Civil War.
