Rare Antique WILLIAM W. MARSTON Three Barrel .32 Caliber RF DERINGER Pistol UNIQUE 1860s “KITTREDGE CIN. O” Marked Barrel Group
Description: Rare Antique WILLIAM W. MARSTON Three Barrel .32 Caliber RF DERINGER Pistol UNIQUE 1860s “KITTREDGE CIN. O” Marked Barrel Group Here we present an antique Wm. W. Marston Three-Barrel .32 Caliber Rimfire Deringer Pistol, made circa 1866 in New York City, New York. The Kittredge Company was a large firearms dealer based in Cincinnati, Ohio, through which many state militias acquired firearms for their men during the American Civil War. 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. Silver finish remaining. The action (hammer/trigger) is functional. The firing pin on these was frequently broken or lost and this one appears to have a replacement. The firing pin will move from chamber to chamber from the bottom position to the top position with each pull of the hammer when the barrels are tipped down. The grips are solid. The bores are patinated. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4 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 $2000 #230399 SOLD Antique: Yes |
