serial number 1017 of 3000
Does anyone know anything about this particular run. It is a blackpowder long-rifle. The revolver is goldplated in the fluting of the cylinder, barrel, as well as plated on the edges of the frame. It also has pearl like handles. It came with a bullet seater, and a small packet of round ball ammunition.
The picture is from the auction, and does not show the quality of the firearm very well.
It did not come with the manual, nor the nipple removal tool.
The only flaw appears to be where the cylinder has been chafed by being rotated. Although the auction inferred that it had been fired, I find absolutely no indication of it having been shot at all.
