serial #2, 7mm RF, 3'' four-barrel cluster with oxidized bores showing some remnants of visible rifling. The barrels retain about 40% original bright blue with the balance flaked to a pleasant deep gray-brown patina showing a little old oxidation staining and maker's name and Eibar location nicely inlaid in silver along both of the top barrels. The frame shows remnants of silver finish mostly toning to pewter gunmetal with some mild brown oxidation staining. The hammer back spring retains good straw color and the smooth walnut grips are pencil-numbered to the gun and remain in near excellent condition with strong antique varnish, light handling marks and nice grain figure. The barrels lock up well and feature a transverse bar release and, perhaps most prominently, there is a large ejector rod housed along the right side of the frame, the rod itself with some vestiges of subtle fire blue. The nose sometimes does not rotate reliably and the hammer otherwise seems to function well mechanically. An interesting copy with a somewhat bulky and industrial-looking but useful ejector rod.
