[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3825528, member: 45773"] That right grip panel looks like wear from rubbing against the side of whomever was carrying it. I'd like to see the left side. It's oftentimes possible to tell if the owner was right or left handed just looking at the wear on grips. There's wear in the plating(?) or finish around the muzzle on the left side. Not a lot, but it's there. Or appears that way from the photo. The cylinder pin is pretty buggered up. The screw (mainspring ?) on the bottom of the grip and the middle screw on the left side of the frame are buggered a bit. To the OP... I'm not pointing these things out to detract or diminish this gorgeous gun you have. Only to illustrate that this wasn't a showpiece it's entire life. Personally, I find having a gun with history more intriguing than having a gun that sat in a padded case for 120 years. Unfortunately, though, these things will detract from the value for an informed buyer looking for a collector piece. [/QUOTE]
