It is missing its' loading lever. Some parts move and the rusting is a bit of a puzzlement. The serial number is present, but you cannot see the numbers on other parts.

It has a great story, but it is silent. We often attribute these heavily used arms to the Apache out here. They used their arms pretty well up. I make no claims, but these are the guns that were really used in the west and not hiding in a chest of drawers for 150 years.

This revolver is rough on the outside and pretty nice on the inside. The bore is strong. It is tight and has matching numbers except for the wedge which is close. There is no cylinder scene left. It comes with a Slim Jim holster which is very nice. The revolver has a fair amount of black rust (blood rust) in splotches over most of the surface. This turned up in Tucson but I do not know anything about it. No history. I like the gun and it has a bit of "been there done that" .
