I checked the serial number with Dan Williams. He said it's one of the lowest serial numbers he's seen on a conversion from Whitney. His book is supposed to arrive next week, so, hopefully I will know a lot more about this revolver soon.
The finish all over the pistol is so worn that I can't make out any stamping on the top flat of the barrel. The bottom flat, near the frame, shows the last three digits of the serial number and an "X". I'm looking closely for a "B" stamped on the frame near the barrel - that would be a military proof mark. The serial number, according to Dan, is within range for use as a Union Army pistol.
Hope to know more soon!
