The firearm is configured with a 6-inch round barrel and a large, rounded brass blade front sight paired with a fixed notch rear sight. The frame is fitted with two-piece checkered walnut grips featuring a distinctive diamond pattern on each panel. This 8-shot model utilizes a solid-frame design typical of the period.
