ENGRAVED PRESENTATION MERWIN & HULBERT LATE STYLE ARMY REVOLVER. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). SN 20897. Nickel finish with 7″ rnd bbl, usual markings with integral pinch blade front sight and top strap. It has 6 shot cylinder with conventional flutes and square butt frame with stud and ring. It is mounted with 2-pc ivory grips with deep relief carved Mexican eagle with snake on the right side. It has about 65-70% coverage. Fine orig factory engraving with a reclining female deer on the left side and a diagonal bar with diamond and dot center decoration. The balance of the engraving is typical Merwin & Hulbert leaf and vine with berries over both sides of the frame, top of the back strap and down both sides of the bbl. The back strap is inscribed in period script “J.C. Alderson / April 20th, 1890”. The left toe of the frame under the grip has the assembly number 3222 which number also appears on the back of the cylinder and on the inside face of the bbl lug. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine. All matching except the grips which are unnumbered. This revolver appears to have been fired but if so, very little. Retains virtually all of its orig factory nickel finish with one heavy scratch on the bbl and minor handling marks elsewhere. Hammer, trigger and trigger guard retain dark case colors, brighter on the sides of the hammer. Grips are outstanding with a few age lines and show light wear with great detail remaining in the eagle and overall they retain a bright mellow ivory patina. These grips may be from another revolver. Mechanics are crisp. Bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of very fine pitting. 4-57543 JR307 (12,500-17,500)
