Here is a Model 1891, which was available as a revolver or single shot, hence the recoil shields. The original owner was J E Gorman of San Francisco, Captain of the 1908 U.S. Olympic team, and winner of the gold medal at London. The medal is shown in the case. The barrel on the pistol is marked H M Pope, but does not carry his code lines as his rifle barrels almost always do. Perhaps the limited space changed his practice.
