SCARCE Antique Eben T. Starr PEPPERBOX Pistol in .32
Description: SCARCE Antique Eben T. Starr PEPPERBOX Pistol in .32 Only 2,000 Estimated Made in the Late 1860s Here we present an antique Eben T. Starr Third Model Pepperbox Pistol, manufactured circa the late 1860s. This pistol was designed by prolific inventor Eben T. Starr and it very much resembles Christian Sharps’ own pepperbox pistol, complete with a revolving firing pin. The Starrs were actually produced by the Merrill Patent Firearms Mfg. Co. in Baltimore, Maryland. Starr was also the inventor of several Civil War weapons including both a double and a single action revolver as well as a cavalry carbine. This specimen is a 3rd Model with the barrel release spring not visible on the right exterior of the frame. The left side of the plate is marked “STARR’S PAT’S/MAY 10, 1864”. Unlike the Sharps Pepperbox, the Starr features a distinct push-button trigger, a side-mounted hammer, and a rotating firing pin that is housed within the frame rather than on the hammer. The barrels also pivot on a hinge at the front of the frame rather than sliding forward. The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces and smooth and bright. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut grips are in great shape. All four bores are bright with strong rifling and minor patches of roughness. The action on this pepperbox is excellent. Here is a very scarce, if not rare, example of a very neat American Pepperbox! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/8 inches. Caliber: .32 Rimfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1425 #6263 SOLD Antique: Yes |
