Blackpowder frame with low profile ejector rod head. Complete with factory letter stating that this gun was originally shipped to Simmons Hardware Company of St. Louis, Missouri on December 16, 1881. Barrel length and type of stocks are "Not Listed" which typically indicated that they were standard option for the time period which would have been 7 - 1/2" barrel with wooden grips. CONDITION: Excellent, with nearly all of the reapplied nickel plating remaining with scattered light handling marks. Grips are shy to backstrap but are complete with no major signs of distress. Action is tight and crisp. Bore is bright with sharp rifling. Would make a great shooter. TON
