This is a single action, seven shot, tip-up revolver with octagon barrel and spur trigger. Features a brass frame devoid of any plating. Traces of blue in recesses of barrel. Sharp legends. Indexes fine with near mint rose-wood grips. These revolvers were manufactured 1857-1860. These were very popular with men marching off to the Civil War and thousands were purchased for soldiers by their loved ones.
