Description
Antique Tipping & Lawden Hammer Safety Revolver: 450 CF, This is an G. H. Daw 57 Threadneedle St London. marked revolver that retains 85-90% of the original bright blue finish with the balance worn, especially along the high and exposed edges, and on the unfluted cylinder. Traces of bright fire blue are present on the loading gate latch, while the gate, hammer, trigger, and ejector rod retain their original bright finish. The checkered walnut grip has a pronounced saw-handle profile, and is in fine shape with light handling marks, and some mild flattening of the points. The lock-up is tight, and the single action functions flawlessly, double action skips occasionally. This is a variant on the Tipping & Lawden revolver with a conventional swing-out extractor rod hinged to the underside of the barrel. SER# 119
