Center hammer. Six shot; 5" octagon barrel. Only approx 500 of these made circa early 1860's. (Believed they actually pre-dated production of the percussion Navy revolver.) Low serial No. 209. Fine condition specimen, showing very little wear. Strong traces of orig. bright blue finish on frame, cylinder & barrel; metal mostly smooth, even age brown with few minor rust blemishes, but will clean exc+ & better. Markings light, but distinctly stamped that way and they do not show wear; mechanically exc+. Grips have most original varnish finish and exc+ just the slightest wear at extreme edges of butt; some very light surface scratches to varnish finish only, but very fine. Complete with loading gate intact. (F# 5A-067)...$2,250.
