Serial No. 8300. The model 1883 has a 4-1/2" barrel, which is blued. On the left side is a push-button "transverse pin" working similar to Colt's later SAA to secure the base- or cylinder pin, and additional is the safety. Plain wooden grips, lanyard ring missing, shows acceptance and proof stamps. This gun is a standard single action model. Action is tight. Bore has strong rifling but minor corrosion. Overall metal finish is a pleasing blue-brown patina with some freckling on right side with some spots. Rare revolver with matching numbers.
