birds head grips, round barrel, and fluted cylinder. It retains about
97% of the original nickel still with bright finish. It has a set of
factory "malachite" grips which are quite rare. These are, of course, an
early man made material, perhaps a resin based material. H&A
offered 8 colors of grips for a period in the 1870s to the 1890s to
enhance the appeal of their spur trigger revolvers. These, in green,
were called Malachite. Others were called Ruby, Jasper, Carnelian, Ivory
(not real), Amber, Coral, and Agate. This gun is mechanically fine,
has excellent markings, and is close to new in appearance. Serial number
