- Lot Description
.31 caliber, 4" octagonal barrel, S/N 3369. Blued and case hardened finish, brass triggerguard and backstrap, relief carved ivory grips. Matching serial numbers throughout, wedge unnumbered. Barrel with three-line Cooper Frankford Phila. PA address. Engraved in a New York style including flowing floral scrolls with geometric boarders and punch-dot background shading that is reminiscent of Nimschke's shop. Engraving covers the frame, more than half of the barrel and portions of the triggerguard and backstrap. Period ivory grips with relief carved classical warrior motif on reverse. The grips and engraving are typical of high-end revolvers sold by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham during the mid-to-late 19th century. Revolver is contained in relined period mahogany veneer case that appears to have originally been for a Colt pocket revolver.
Good to very good. Retains no finish with a mottled and oxidized gray patina on the metal and a deep, untouched ocher color on the brass. Markings and engraving remain relatively crisp and clear with some wear and minor softening to the sharp edges. Mechanically functional, good bore with strong rifling and moderate pitting. Grips very good with nice coloration and patina, showing typical age surface grain cracks and some chipping along the leading edges. A really neat little New York retailed and engraved revolver that was no doubt a very high grade revolver when new. Case good to very good, as relined with no interior dividers.Condition
