This early revolver was manufactured in 1877. It is a standard revolver that left the factory as a 7-1/2" .45 caliber with blued finish and walnut grips. The barrel has been cut to 5-1/4", front sight has been replaced with a Mexican silver peso. The ejector rod head has been replaced with the second style. Grips are a pair of very old aged ivory with stress cracks and turquoise inlays. Matching numbers on frame, trigger guard, backstrap, and cylinder. Factory stamps are strong. Gun has no original finish and is now a dark chocolate brown patina. The action is a little loose and does not have the distinctive four clicks. Muzzle is rounded from holster wear with a little pitting. Rifling is fine. An excellent example of a true cowboy gun that has been there and has that Texas-Mexico border look.
