Cased is a period deluxe "dealer" case, fitted in the partition style housing the unique two-barrel/cylinder combination set. First barrel/cylinder measures 6 - 1/2 inches and is chambered in .32-44 Target, the second barrel/cylinder measures 6-inches and is chambered in .38-44 Target. Both barrel/cylinder combinations are numbered to the gun with matching serial numbers, 114.

The 6 - 1/2 inch .32 caliber barrel has a 3/4x4 inch area at the muzzle where the nickel has worn through due to case wear. Both cylinders and barrel bores are nearly new and appear unfired. The case interior is clean with the outside possibly refinished to a high gloss sheen. A very attractive and desirable two barrel set. -MKS-
