#6163, cal. 44/40 W.C.F., 3.25″ barrel, the bore with worn rifling and light pitting. The metal has matching assembly numbers and the walnut grips are well made replacements in fine condition. The gun has non-factory Mexican style line and punch dot engraving with the sideplate marked “VIVA.” Most of the metal has a smooth dark gray patina with traces of original nickel-plating. Most of the factory markings are legible with the “Pocket Army” on right side showing wear. The single action mechanism won’t stay cocked, the double-action works but the cylinder stop is worn. A leather strip is affixed to the butt. One may wonder how many times this revolver crossed the Mexican border.
This is an antique revolver and will transfer with no Federal restrictions. RR Auction COA.
