Blued spur trigger iron frame with unique fish tail styled butt. Grips are smooth 2-piece rosewood. CONDITION: Very good. Pistol retains traces of original finish in protected areas, the balance a chemically turned brown patina. Grips are very fine with only a few minor marks. Bore has worn but visible rifling with some cleaned oxidation spots. Fine mechanics and tight lock up. No front sight present.
