Description:
Very rarely seen pocket sized pepperbox pistol with barrels only 2 inches long. The overall length is 6 inches. There is no makers name but there are a number of proof marks, one on each of the 6 barrels and they look like English marks. The barrels are blued with about 75% remaining. The action (which is strong), the hammer, trigger guard, grip straps and butt cap are engraved and show traces of blueing and or case coloring. The trigger and hammer work properly and the barrels turn properly with each trigger pull. There is a safety and it works well. The grips are finely checkered walnut and show only a few minor marks. The barrels are .32 caliber and all of the percussion nipples look perfect. The bores are a little dark but show no sign of rust or pitting.
This would make a fine additionto a collection of pepperboxes, a collection of oddities, or for a collector who wants something different.. In over 50 years of collecting I can't recall seeing another on like this.
A NO interest payment plan is available
This is an antique, so it can be sent directly to a new owner.
