Accompanied by what is likely the original retailer case with accessories comprising a small oil bottle, small screwdriver, key, and cleaning rod, along with nine rounds of .32 rimfire. Griffiths & Worsley paper label in lid. Vacant brass plaque in lid. CONDITION: Very fine with bronze taking on a deep mustard patina. Retains the majority of its bluing with some flaking, primarily along high edges. Front of cylinder shows moderate pitting from black powder use. Grips are excellent, full sized, with a few scattered minor nicks and marks from use. Accessories are excellent with some minor wear commensurate with age. Cleaning rod still has considerable blue. Ammo essentially patinated through. Case has been repaired and revarnished, but fits revolver well. An extremely attractive pocket revolver. EW
