Found 1896; 6"
This gun is not perfect, but after 120 years , you might expect a few freckled spots on the blueing....I wish they were not there, but I had not seen very many 6" blued guns, so I bought it. It letters as you see it, with the extension stocks. Bore and cylinders are pristine. S/N #92xx
Included with the gun was a factory letter and an additional barrel.
The barrel, 3.25" blue, has a perfect bore, but letters to a different gun; S/N 18313.
The barrel is Perfect save for a freckle on one side of the front sight and some blueing loss at the muzzle crown. If any of you want or need this barrel let me know, and I can send photos.
