VOLCANIC SMALL FRAME NO. 1 PISTOL

Description:
Small Frame No. 1 Volcanic lever action pistol with 3-1/2 inch octagon barrel originally chambered in 31 caliber "Rocket Ball" but has been converted to 32 RF caliber. This pistol was most likely upgraded around the time of the Civil War with a rimfire style firing pin. Good bore with light roughness. Sights include a pinched post front with a fixed notch rear. Barrel and integral magazine tube retain most of its original blue with a good barrel address. Silver plated brass frame has most of that plating. Rosewood grips fit well and have most of their varnish. About 1,000 of these were manufactured between 1858-1860. Fine looking Small Frame Volcanic pistol.
