Serial no. 18478, caliber .31. This has a 3.5″ octagonal barrel with the “E. Whitney / N. Haven” marking, a five-shot cylinder, and an attached loading lever with a flat latch. This is a third type second model revolver with seven-groove rifling. The mechanism works, the metal has a dark patina with scattered fine pitting and no cylinder scene remaining. The bore is fair; the two-piece walnut grips show wear at the butt and rate very good. The retaining screw for the cylinder pin wing nut is a replacement. This is a good example of the many Frontier and Civil War-used revolvers that were made by Colt’s competitors. This was made in the early 1860s.
This is an antique revolver and transfers with no federal restrictions. RR Auction COA.
