.36 caliber with 7 ½" brown barrel and six-shot fluted cylinder. This gun is very unusual in that the cylinder that is mounted on the gun has a very nice high quality etched scene present. The scene depicts an American eagle over a shield, various scroll work, a stand-of-arms featuring flags and a Roman style helmet.
