Item Description: Translate description
serial #76922, 38 S&W, 3 1/4'' barrel with an about good bore showing some pinprick pitting and light oxidation with strong rifling. This revolver features some rather interesting period engraving with the sides of the frame and cylinder flutes embellished with traditional flowing foliate scrollwork and the remaining surfaces with extensively zigzags and punch-dot foliate motifs reminiscent of the Hopkins & Allen style. The sides of the frame also bear neatly engraved monograms with ''HSC'' on the left and ''APC'' on the right. The metal surfaces retain about 95% period nickel finish showing some light handling marks and scattered small flakes toning to gray-brown patina, most of them along the high edges and the cylinder. The triggerguard and latch retain strong original bright blue flaking to mild gray-brown patina and the hammer and trigger show nice case-hardened colors and some light oxidation speckling. All of the embellishments and the factory barrel address and patent dates are intact and strong. The revolver wears a set of smooth mother-of-pearl grips rating very fine left and very good right, the right panel with some light chips along the top edges. The action will require some mechanical attention in single action as the hammer notches are worn though it seems to function normally in double action. The included black paper-covered box remains in fine condition showing some fading and scuffing along the exterior, the end label with some flaked areas but correct for the gun. The base shows numerous faded numbers, many of which were crossed out, and the interior lid label is intact. An interesting example. (13B10826-379) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (1000/1500)
