Weapon is a Moore front loading revolver with a 3.25-inch barrel and six shot cylinder. These weapons were produced from 1864-1870.

Barrel marking of “MOORE’S PAT. FIREARMS CO. BROOKLYN, N.Y.” is faint. Bore is good but very dusty. Blade front sight is present. The barrel was originally blued but now has a salt & pepper look with only hints of the blue remaining. The underside of the barrel is marked with serial number 9543.

The cylinder has the same finish as the barrel and the markings of “D. WILLIAMSON’S PATENT / JANUARY 5, 1864”along the cylinders edge are readable but very faint. Cylinder indexes properly and is tight at full-cock. Hammer has low half-cock but works properly.

The frame is silver plated brass and still shows the excellent scrollwork design on both sides and underneath.

Hook extractor is not present. Of the 30,000 of these revolvers produced 20,000 were made without the hook extractor.

Bird's head walnut grips are present and show some wear as does the grip frame.  [AD]
