Description:
Very rare gun. One of the few I have encountered with a round barrel and takedown frame. Just a half dozen of the first models had a round barrel and or a takedown frame. A fantastic gun with extra fancy uncheckered deluxe wood with a rifle style buttplate. Beech combination front sight, Winchester buckhorn rear sight and Lyman folding tang sight. 26 inch round barrel with a mint bore. Overall gun is in sensational condition with most bright blue and some slight toning on the takedown ring. Vivid case colors on the hammer, lever and buttplate.  This gun is considered the finest first model that has surfaced to date and I don't doubt it one bit. It is absolutely extraordinary!
