Antique Moore Patent Front Loading Teat Fire Revolver 32 Cal

Up for sale is an antique Moore front loading teat-fire revolver in 32 caliber. Barrel measures 3 ¼" in length with a surprisingly bright, strong good bore with a couple spots of frosting and minor pitting. Barrel, hammer and trigger have mostly toned to dark gray patina with scattered handling marks while the cylinder retains about 60% original blue with patches of gray patina and fine freckling. Engraved brass frame retains about 40% original silver plating which has toned very dark from age and tarnish with the exposed brass being a mellow ochre patina.
Smooth gutta percha grips remain in very good condition with a few small marks and appear to be free of cracks.
Revolver is sighted with a small silver colored front blade.
