The earliest Adams Revolver I have ever owned and it came right out of the woods in South Alabama.  It is .50 caliber with a 7 1/2 inch barrel and is double action.  The right side of the frame is marked Adams Patent No. 375.  The same serial number is found on the rear tang and the back of the cylinder.  The top of the barrel is engraved "Deane Adams & Deane, Makers to HRH Prince Albert, 30 King William Street, London Bridge."  The gun is in very good condition with a very light, smooth patination and sound grips.  The action functions perfectly and it is lightly engraved, as is typical of English pistols.  This gun was produced sometime around 1852 and somehow found its way to rural South Alabama.  SOLD!!
