Euro MULTI Barrel Mariette RING Trigger PEPPERBOX
BELGIAN 1840s Revolving Percussion Defense Pistol
Here we present an antique Belgian Mariette Brevete Ring Trigger/Under Hammer Percussion Pepperbox. This firearm was made in the 1840s in Liege, Belgium, known for centuries now as one of the foremost firearms capitals of the world. It was expressly made for self-defense, giving the shooter 4 shots of .38 caliber ball without having to cock a hammer.
This piece is double action, with a cluster of 4 barrels that revolves with each pull of the trigger. This is a percussion piece, and each of the 4 barrels can be independently unscrewed for loading. In fact, each of the barrels is numbered and corresponds to the same number on the firearm, so that the user could not lose track of which barrel goes to its particular portion of the breech. The loading of the gun from the breech, rather than from the muzzle, was beneficial to loading a larger ball—yielding a better gas seal—as opposed to trying to load from the muzzle.
The grip frame is marked “Mariette Brevete”. The barrels and breeches are numbered 1-4 in sequence. This gun is numbered “16” on the top of the frame. The breech of the barrel cluster is Liege proofed with a “Crown/J” above it.
The frame is nicely engraved, and the barrels are all forged in Two-Iron Damascus. The overall condition is very good plus. The Damascus pattern and engraving is still clear. The markings are clear and legible. The burl grips are in very good condition. Bores are in good condition and the action is fine.
