Side-by-side round barrels are joined by a steel rib and are 4" in length. Barrels are each bored approximately .32 caliber. Coloration overall is dull gray with some light pitting on the barrel group. The barrels are marked on the top rib "BRUCE & DAVIS" and "CAST STEEL." The serial number is stamped on top of the rib just ahead of the hammers B.1954. Steel frame is lightly engraved on either side with engraving being fairly faint due to wear. Double hammers are enclosed in the frame and are operated by a single trigger and the action works well. Two piece bag shaped walnut grips are in very good condition. A single steel thimble beneath the barrel houses a non-original wooden ramrod.
