It has small “P” proofs visible on all the original parts. It has the square back brass trigger guard. The bottom of the butt has the scratched initials “WGL”.

CONDITION: Good, all matching except the wedge and operating handle which are unnumbered. The wedge, however, has the proper “P” proof, as does the operating handle. No original finish remains, being a very dark brown patina overall with crusted rust and pitting on bbl with bbl lug mostly smooth patina. The operating handle bbl hinge is broken and missing a small piece. The frame retains 60-70% silvered case hardening with light patina and fine pitting. The cylinder is a smooth brown patina with some light pitting around the front edge. Retains 20-25% visible Indian fight scene. The trigger guard and backstrap are a medium mustard patina. Grips have a hairline on the left side at the frame and a re-glued chip at the left toe. The right toe is missing a chip and another small chip at the frame. There is the outline of a cartouche on the left side, but heavy wear has obscured the one on the right side. It has a strong bore with some shine, dark with pitting. 4-49485 (14,000-22,000)
