This is a crisp, tight, sharp as a tack, inscribed # 2 Old Model.  It is all matching and complete in all respects.  It retains about half the finish, blending with a beautiful smooth patina.  The blue is just barely turning brown.  No pits, dings, etc.  The rosewood grips are in superb condition.  The barrel address is sharp and crisp as is the patent date on the cylinder.  The hinge at the top of the frame is tight as new.  The backstrap of the gun is inscribed Capt. Charles Storrow.  There is an extensive amount of research accompanying the gun to include a photo copy of a picture of Captain Charles Storrow in uniform.  He apparently started his own company of the 44th Regiment, Mass. Volunteers.  He seems to have been something of the adventurer.  In 1860 he was shipwrecked on a merchant ship bound for Indian and China in the Strait of Malacca, off the coast of Malaysia.  He managed to get back home to Massachusetts, just in time to raise his own company of the 44th Mass., in which he served as Captain.  The regiment saw most of its service in North Carolina and he mustered out in June of 1863.  He attended Harvard and has quite a lineage in the New England area.  It appears that the regiment was posted in 1862, around Buford and New Bern, North Carolina and was engaged and took casualties at Rawle's Mill, Kinston, Whitehall and Washington, North Carolina.  A nice bit of history and a nice little gun to go with it.  SOLD!!
