Provenance: This interesting revolver is numbered in the Old Model 1861 serial range and has the correct patent legends stamped on the barrel for that model, but it has the New Model loading lever and cylinder. Due to faults with the Old Model 1861 many were upgraded and the last ones produced were fitted with the new modified loading levers and updated cylinders with safety notches
