My third model engraved, cut barrel, 44-40 cal. - it's got some areas of corrosion but if it didn't then I wouldn't have been able to afford it - sharpie is gone:
And my 4th model, 5 1/2-inch barrel, engraved with ivories in 44-40 - I bought it even though it's worn because it has only Hopkins Allen markings on it - no Merwin markings - making it one of the last produced which is pretty rare, I believe? Also, I haven't seen too many engraved 4th models:
- there is really something special about Merwins. Thanks for looking.
