'Model 4 Root' Cased solid frame single action percussion revolver in .31 caliber, circa 1860. Features a blued finish, 3.5" octagonal barrel, brass cone front sight, v-notched rear sight, full fluted five shot cylinder, spur trigger, loading lever checkered hammer spur, and one piece smooth walnut wrap around grip. Includes a compartmentalized locking wood case with brown felt lining, key, two small powder flasks and an empty cap container. The case is in good condition but is in need of a repair as the lid has begun to come apart. Revolver exhibits 10% bright finish with the remainder of the surfaces having varying degrees of pitting from light to heavy. Serial numbers match, action is crisp, bore is fair to good, and grips are very good with small losses along the bottom edge. Condition is near good. ***Antique Firearm***
