MARLIN NO. 32 STANDARD 1875 POCKET REVOLVER WITH DEGRESS PATENT GRIPS.

SN 7056. DeGress grips were patented by Francis DeGress in 1874 and must have been quite popular due to the different model guns that they were made for. However his grips are difficult to find today as many were sold in his store in Mexico City (Wexell & DeGress) & also in the U.S. and probably saw hard use. This example is quite nice as can be seen in photos, retaining much of the orig silver finish to both grips and revolver. This little Marlin Pistol conforms to other Standard 1875’s with 3″ ribbed tip up bbl marked on flat “NO. 32 STANDARD 1875″, engraved silver plated brass frame,and on left side of bbl “J. M. MARLIN NEW HAVEN, CT USA PAT. JULY 1, 1873″. Engraving is attributable to L.D. Nimschke in quality and style. CONDITION: Gun is fine overall retaining about 95% of its orig silver plating to bbl, cylinder, frame and grips. DeGress Patented grips are marked on verso “PAT. APR. 28 ’74″. Mechanically gun functions well with crisp, well defined bore. 4-55193 JS (2,500-4,500) – Lot 1466
