Left side of octagon to round barrel marked in two lines: ALLEN & WHEELOCK WORCESTER, MS US over ALLEN'S PAT'S SEP. 7, NOV. 9, 1858. Matching serial numbers on left of frame under grips, stamped inside both grips, on cylinder and arbor pin, on loading gate and on ejector rod. No number present on combination ejector lever and triggerguard. A scarce revolver manufactured during the early 1860s with total production estimated at around five hundred.
