The Beals and Old Models had the high hammer spur, which tended to break off. When the New Models came out one of the changes was to lower the spur. This one is broken. I got that revolver in parts in a shoe box many years ago from an elderly lady in Berryville Va. She said that her husband claimed it was handed down to him by one of Mosby's Rangers. Then she added with a smile, "But he lied about other things too." It is government inspected.
