Original Item: One of a kind set. This is an Exceptionally RARE offering, and it includes what is said to be the ONLY Mervin & Hulbert Revolver marked up to the Union Pacific Rail Road, along with an original named holster, a U.P.R.R. badge, and a book on Mervin & Hulbert that has a picture of this very revolver. The known marked U.P.R.R. handguns are most often Colt Revolvers or maybe Smith & Wesson but Mervin & Hulbert are very rare with this, we believe, the only example known.
This revolver is marked with serial number 941 on the bottom of the grip, along with UPRR Stock number U110, and has much of its original nickel finish remaining on the frame showing, while there is more loss on the barrel. The nickel plating on the trigger guard is almost completely gone, and it has suffered some corrosion due to contact with a holster. It still retains its original scarce red and black checkered hard rubber (possibly Gutta-percha) grips , which look almost orange, and show very little wear. The back strap of the grip is marked U.P.R.R. Co.. This revolver also shows some noticeable early features, such as the 2 screws above the trigger guard and humpback shape hammer.
The top of the barrel is marked MERWIN HULBERT & C., New York, U.S.A….
