It is engraved with a tight scroll pattern and the head of a bear on the left barrel lug, it also has a wolf or dog's head on each side of the hammer probably engraved by Gustave Young or in his shop.

Brass triggergaurd shows approx. 20% original heavy silver plate. Backstrap with approx. 10 % silver in protected areas. The loading lever shows traces of case hardening. The cylinder has no original blue but almost a full scene. There is a slight drag line about 1/4 inch back from the front of cylinder. The frame retains good traces of case hardening.

The action is tight and crisp as new and the bore is excellent with sharp rifling. Blade front sight added during period of use.
