The most desirable of all Lightnings are these short barrel etched panel pocket revolvers. Very popular in the old west and this one is antique so can be shipped anywhere. As to condition, it is stunning. Gun as at least 97% original factory nickel finish with just some wear on end of muzzle. Gun has all the fire blue on back of hammer. Perfect etched 38 panel. Works perfectly. Mint grips with no chips nor any real visible wear. Some nice blue on some of the screws, none of which are buggered. This is an early model made in 1880, the fourth year of production and right in the middle of the wild west era. And lastly, a gem mint brand new mirror bore.
