All 3 revolvers are housed in the appropriate and attractive walnut 3 drawer display cabinet, with drawers red velvet lined, and fitted for the guns and accessories.

Guns have only faint turn lines, with only a few minor handling marks visible. A spot of corrosion present on the Dragoon's flask. Case very good with some minor dings. Book has some edgewear and a few scuffs. Overall, a very attractive commemorative set for the collector! BAS
