.36 caliber. 7" octagonal barrel. SN: 4391. Originally blued and color case hardened with no finish remaining, two piece smooth walnut grips. Ring cocking, gas seal percussion revolver with six chambered unfluted cylinder, pivoting under barrel loading lever and fixed notch rear sight and missing the brass cone front sight. Standard three-line address and patent markings on top strap, small single letter sub-inspector marks on frame and barrel, no cartouches visible on the grips. Left grip with a weak set of initials scratched in them and an "8" stamped in it. A partially legible name is stamped on the left side of the barrel in a non-serif font and appears to say "Edward D. Lee." A solid example of one of the first gas seal revolver designs the was modestly successful in the mid-19th century, with some 20,000 produced during the Civil War era and about 12,000 of those being acquired under US Government contracts, like this one. {ANTIQUE}
