Rare Antique WILLIAM W. MARSTON Three Barrel .32 Caliber DERINGER Pistol UNIQUE 1860s Triple Barrel Superposed Defense Pistol with CASE!
Description: Rare Antique WILLIAM W. MARSTON Three Barrel .32 Caliber DERINGER Pistol UNIQUE 1860s Triple Barrel Superposed Defense Pistol with CASE! Here we present an antique Wm. W. Marston Three-Barrel .32 Caliber Rimfire Deringer Pistol, made circa 1866 in New York City, New York. Only 3,300 were made between 1858 and 1872. Designed and patented by William Marston in 1857, this 3-shot pistol was one of only a few repeating cartridge pistols during this time. Smith & Wesson bought the Rollin White Patent rights in the same year, which gave them exclusivity over the completely bored through revolver cylinder needed to use metallic cartridges most effectively. The Sharps pepperbox was another unique design that was very successful during the period before S&W’s patent expired. Like Sharps, Marston utilized multiple barrels that were superposed to make a barrel cluster, as well as an oscillating firing pin to hit each cartridge in succession. The barrel cluster hinges down for loading and unloading, using a very simple fixed claw system for extraction. There was a chamber indicator on the right side of the gun that enabled the shooter to set the firing pin to the first barrel, and let the shooter know which barrel it was on if they fired it. The firing pin would simply travel to the next barrel. With a firearm this unique, ingenious and rare, it is no wonder why collectors love them. The overall condition is good. The action does not function with the lack of trigger spring, although the firing pin does oscillate. The right grip has some loss on the front and back edges, but both grips remain firm otherwise. This example includes a felt lined fitted case! Here is a fascinating Deringer type, 3-barrel pistol that represents some of the interesting ideas for firearms of the post-Civil War period. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3 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 $1485 #201253 SOLD Antique: Yes |
