UNIQUE, RARE, ENGRAVED Antique T. BACON Revolver

UNIQUE, RARE, ENGRAVED Antique T. BACON Revolver
1 of 300 Produced Prior to S&W Patent Suit
Here we present an antique Engraved Bacon “Removable Trigger Guard” Pocket Revolver, made circa 1861 in Norwich, Connecticut. Only 300 are estimated to have been made. This is an example another revolver of which production was halted after Smith & Wesson successfully defended Rollin White’s Patent. This patent was for a completely bored through cylinder as we know revolvers to have to this day. This allowed for the use of straight cased metallic cartridges.
This revolver is unique in that the entire barrel assembly must be removed in order to remove the cylinder for loading and unloading. This is accomplished by flexing the trigger guard downward at the back, then unscrewing it. This was definitely not the most effective design for someone having to reload in a fight, but, then again, the vast majority of folks were still using percussion revolvers at this time. This is a really neat look into the developmental history of revolvers.
The top of the barrel reads “BACON MFG. CO. NORWICH CONN.” in tiny block letters. There is nice scroll engraving on the revolver’s frame from the factory.
The overall condition is near fine. The metal surfaces have a light gray patina. The markings are legible. The original walnut grips are in good condition with nice figure on the left panel especially. The bore is sharp and clean. The action on this revolver is excellent. Here is a great opportunity to own a truly rare revolver for your collection!
