serial #3129, .36 cal, 7'' barrel with a mostly bright about very fine bore showing a little scattered old oxidation and strong rifling throughout. The barrel of this very handsome commercial revolver retains generous streaks of original bright blue throughout, having mostly flaked to a pleasant gray-brown patina and showing a few small areas of old mild oxidation. The cylinder is a similar patina with some sparse pinprick pitting while the frame retains perhaps 65% original bright blue appearing stronger under ambient light with fine flaking and staining from the years. The loading lever housing retains about 80% rich bright blue while the remaining parts all retain about 85% lovely vibrant case-hardened colors, drifting in some areas to a pleasant smoky gray. The topstrap address and patent markings remain crisp and the smooth walnut grips rate excellent showing just a few light dings and retaining strong oil finish and perfect fit. The brass front sight post is bent back from an old impact but this is relatively minor and the action remains crisp and seems to function well mechanically. This interesting model is not often seen with such strong condition and is always a desirable piece for any antique American arms collection. (13C11556-2) {ANTIQUE} (3000/5000)
