Frame and barrel are made as one piece with the round barrel being 3" long. Overall length is 7 ½". Bore is quite large, about .64 caliber. Scroll engraving is present on either side of the frame and is only very slightly worn. Brass has a somewhat tarnished appearance. Top of the barrel is stamped "EIBAR" in small letters. Action works well. One piece walnut grips appear to be original but their fit is somewhat poor due to the upper tang having been broken and rewelded.
