Norwich Arms revolver with Tiffany style grips.

This is a somewhat extravagant "Saturday Night Special" carried in the pocket in towns that prohibited the carrying of full sized weapons in town on weekends.

Read the publication "Saturday Night Specials" by Robert Sherrill for a fascinating insight into these antique firearms. There were literally hundreds of names marketed.

This revolver was made by the Norwich Arms company who was a prolific manufacturer of these little revolvers marketing several types and finishes.
This particular revolver would be considered "up market" with Tiffany style German silver grips portraying a hunting scene of a dog chasing a hare and foliate engraving on the frame. The makers name is stamped on the barrel and the top strap is stamped "Unique" which I guess it may be as I haven't see the same scene before.
The names of these changed on a regular basis as a marketing tool and there are some interesting names possibly based on regional demographics.
This revolver looks good in the hand and cocks, indexes and rotates with easy disassembly. It comes complete with its original chamois leather holster.
An interesting revolver.
