serial #4039, 22 RF, 1 1/2'' seven-shot cylinder with oxidized bores. The metal surfaces of this attractive example retain about 90% original silver finish showing some sharp edge wear to ocher brass along the frame and most of the loss along the cylinder that shows some flaking to oxidized brown patina along the edges, along with some fine bubbling. The silver has otherwise taken on an attractive honest patina overall and this earlier example bears only the ''MY FRIEND'' marking on the left side of the frame below the cylinder. The metal surfaces retain fine strong factory embellishments of wide detailed flowing foliate scrollwork, light punch-dot shading, simple line bordering, starburst at muzzle and checkered panel along backstrap. The hammer screw appears to be an old period replacement, the original base pin is intact and the mainspring is a bit weak but the action otherwise seems to function normally with correct timing and lock-up. A very fine example with the more desirable earlier marking. (13B11777-31) {ANTIQUE} (1500/2000)
