There were approx. 19,000 of these fine revolvers produced through about 1873 with most seeing hard service well into the late 1800s and are rarely found cased and almost never with high orig finish. Mr. Flayderman’s original tag states this gun once had its original holster but is now missing. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus, all matching.
