Excellent lock-up with only small amount of  cylinder play. Patent date Sept. 30, 1902 marked. Original monogram hard rubber grips are in excellent condition.  3 1/4" Barrel with a nice bore , minor spot pitting and strong rifling.  The top-strap markings remain very crisp and legible.  A fine example of early 20th-century American top-break revolver production, rare in this condition.

Despite its age, this revolver is in excellent condition and has been well-maintained. It has tight lock-up, good timing but cylinder has a little play and will tend to roll back a tiny bit. Probably needs a cylinder tenson spring.  Smooth action in single as well as double action.  It's the perfect addition to any antique firearm collection or for those who appreciate a classic piece of history.
