Trigger with Incised Grips - NSN, 32 RF cal., 2 7/8 inch round bbl.,

nickel finish, antique ivory grips. Manufactured c. 1870-1880s. 75%

coverage floral scroll engraving on a matted background. The left

grip is monogrammed “EB” and filled black for contrast. Contained

within a gorgeous Schuyler, Hartley, & Graham leather wrapped,

embossed and silk line case with full cartridge block.

CONDITION: Excellent, retaining

98% original nickel finish, minor

small spot of oxidation on
