Merwin Hulbert & Co. Medium Frame Double Action Revolver with matching spare barrel

serial #12469, assembly # 1044, caliber 32 S&W, 5
½" and a 3½" ribbed barrels with pinned front sights, two-line maker's inscription and very good bores showing strong rifling with minor pitting. Revolver remains 97% bright nickel with the exception of the cylinder which has flaked slightly and retains about 80% original nickel. Under the cylinder on the left side inscription 32 CAL, 7 SHOT. The folding hammer showing the patent date JAN. 27, 85  and trigger have faded to a mottled pewter case-hardened gray, the hammer showing some light oxidation. The checkered hard rubber "checkerboard" grips rate excellent. The grips are numbered to the frame; frame cylinder and both barrel assemblies are numbered alike. Butt is equipped with lanyard loop. There are some very minor dings at top rear of barrel extension. A nice, all matching,
7-shot, two barrel Merwin in fine condition.
 Flayderman's # 8A-086 "scarce."    $1,850.

7" barrel with fixed sight, top strap, fluted cylinder, nickel plated, plated grips. Additional on back strap "Maltese Cross" and "June 27,1884" - perhaps a shooting price?
