Description:
FIRST CARTRIDGE GUN MADE IN AMERICA!...serial #3571, 22 RF, 3 3/16” octagon barrel with a partially bright good bore showing some scattered light pitting and mostly strong rifling throughout. The barrel retains about 50% original bright blue flaking to gray-brown patina and showing some old oxidation staining, the ejector rod with some old tool marks about the tip. The cylinder has mostly toned to gray-brown patina with some flakes of bright blue here and there while the frame retains about 96% original silver finish that has taken on a fine dark tarnish showing just some mild edge wear. The hammer body retains some good wisps of case-hardened colors and the spur retains a healthy amount of bright blue. The smooth rosewood grips rate excellent with about 97% original varnish and some mild handling marks. The grips are stamp-numbered matching the frame by serial number while the remaining numbered parts are matching by assembly number. Barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action seems to function well mechanically.
The included original dark brown gutta percha case with image of revolver remains in very fine condition with a few shallow chips and dings along the edges with the molded images otherwise crisp throughout. The embossed maroon velvet lid lining rates very fine with some mild discoloration and the base lining exhibits some honest fading. The cartridge block and spacers are all intact including the small post at the corner of the block. A fine cased Fourth Type.
