This Merwin & Hulbert Second Model Pocket Army is a factory-engraved revolver in .44-40, marked Winchester 1873 caliber, with a 3.5-inch barrel, scoop cylinder and birdshead grip. The factory pearl grips have no chips or cracks, roughly 95 percent of the factory nickel remains, and the backstrap carries an engraved monogram. The action works perfectly and the bore has strong rifling with light frosting in the grooves. It sells from the Dallas location.

Factory engraving, pearl and this much nickel put it in the display case rather than the holster for a Connecticut buyer, and the monogram gives a researcher something to chase. The transfer is the same as for any handgun in the state: a pistol permit or Handgun Eligibility Certificate at 21, a background check that returns a DESPP authorization number to the dealer, and a count against the three-handguns-in-30-days limit. There is no fixed waiting period once the number is in.
