This is a very sharp and crisp Belgian made Mariette five shop pepper-box revolver. Although this gun retains no original finish it is in nearly excellent condition. The entire frame to include both sides top and back strap are covered in beautiful flowing scrolls. Each barrel exhibits a unique, roll applied Damascus style and a proof mark at the breach. There is an ELG in a circle on one base. The grips are fluted with a touch of carving at the upper base on each plaque and are in excellent condition as well. The action works perfectly. This is a very fine condition gun.
