#3829 Allen & Wheelock mid-sized “Boot Pistol”, 4”x36cal half-octagon barrel,
Description: #3829 Allen & Wheelock mid-sized “Boot Pistol”, 4”x36cal half-octagon barrel, double action single shot with bar hammer. Worcester manufactured Third Variation with 1847 patent dated hammer markings, VG mechanics and overall condition with the expected minor bumps and bruises on both metal and wood. These mid-sized (and larger) single shot pistols were inexpensive and reliable protection and were favorites of the gold seekers in the California Gold Rush of 1849-55. They could be tucked in the high boots while bending down and panning for gold and thus far more accessable than pocket guns (holsters having not yet becoming popular). These are true veterans of the Early West and still unappreciated for their role in the history of Western Expansion and the Gold Rush. VG/VG+ as described. $325 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Antique: Yes |
