SN 6226. Cal. 50 RF. Usual configuration with 8-1/2″ rnd bbl and pinched post front sight. Frame has usual 2-line markings on left side and top of the bbl, at the frame, has a small anchor. Bottom of the bbl, under the forearm has the inspector initials “FCW”. Left side of the frame does not have the inspector initials or “P” proof. Pistol is silver finished and mounted with smooth, certifiable antique ivory stocks. Pistol is engraved in New York style, probably from the L.D. Nimschke shop with full coverage on the sides & top of frame. Matching patterns extend over the bbl. Right side of frame has an empty inscription ribbon. Top of back strap, around the hammer slot is engraved in a fan pattern with matching patterns at bottom of back strap. Sides of trigger sheath are engraved in diamond patterns. It is believed that there were about 6,500 of these pistols made in the period 1866-1870 with the majority of them converted to Model 1867 with the addition of a new trigger plate, trigger guard & trigger making this an extremely rare pistol with only a few remaining in orig configuration.
