The elaborate grip cast in high relief was produced by the sculptor Charles L. H. Muller (1820–1887) and the engraved decoration is attributed to Louis D. Nimschke (1832–1904), German-American artists often employed by the New York firm Schuyler, Hartley & Graham, for which this pistol was made. The name of its owner, Benito Valdeavellano (1823–1903, Lima, Peru), is engraved on the revolver and on its case.
