Welcome to the Forum. That revolver would have shipped right at the end of the Civil War, most likely 1865. Nice overall condition, with very little pitting noted on the face of the cylinder or the barrel assembly.

There was a great demand for this gun during the Civil War and it was said that there were so many orders during the war that it took a some time after the war was over to fill them all at the factory. This model ran from 1860 to 1868, with almost 115,000 made.
