Nickel finish with 6-1/2″ oct bbl, half moon front sight with 3-line bbl address & mounted with smooth, matching numbered, 2-pc walnut grips. There was a total production of less than 3,000 of these fine revolvers built in period 1865-1873 with only a small portion of those converted by factory to fire metallic cartridges.
