.36 caliber with 7 ½" brown barrel and six-shot fluted cylinder. This gun is very unusual in that the cylinder that is mounted on the gun has a very nice high quality etched scene present. The scene depicts an American eagle over a shield, various scroll work, a stand-of-arms featuring flags and a Roman style helmet.

28 caliber with 3 7/16" round barrel. Six-shot straight cylinder. The gun is nickel plated with 95% plating remaining overall. The plating has a softened appearance and the engraving on either side of the frame is slightly weak indicating it may be an old renickel. Maynard tape priming mechanism is present and even contains a large roll of tape primers in the magazine. Serial number 407. Action works well. Top strap above the cylinder is excellently marked "MASS. ARMS CO. CHICOPEE FALLS." Patent dates are well marked on the backstrap. Two piece walnut grips are in fine condition showing light wear.

.45 caliber. Overall length of 13" with a 5 7/8" octagonal barrel. Barrel is a little loose on the cylinder pin. Barrel has traces of original blue finish remaining but is mostly faded to brown color. Light scroll engraving is present on the top flat of the barrel along with the maker's name "MORTIMER" which is engraved in block letters. British proof marks are present on the six-shot cylinder and on the barrel. The frame is dull gray in color with nice lightly worn scroll engraving on either side. Bar style hammer. Action works well. Two piece checkered walnut grips show light wear only. A steel capbox is contained in the gripcap. The front strap of the grip indicates that there may have been a break and a repair there at some time although it is not obvious.

.36 caliber percussion revolver with 7" octagonal barrel and six-shot cylinder. Gun overall is dark brown with light roundness to edges and corners. Stampings on the top strap are excellent. Barrel is mounted with a silver blade front sight. Two small dovetails are present beneath the barrel with the loading lever catch attached in the rear most dovetail. Forward dovetail is empty. It appears that the loading lever may have been damaged at some point and shortened thus causing the catch to be moved rearward. Action works although hammer does not always stand on full cock. Two piece walnut grips have faint cartouche on the right side and some filler material added to repaired gouges to the wood. Otherwise, grips are in very good condition.
