Description:
CASED British Antique PEPPERBOX 8 Shot Revolver
English BIRMINGHAM Proofed & Engraved Double Action
Here we present an antique Pepperbox Percussion Revolver, made circa 1840 in Birmingham, England. This double action revolver was designed for maximum firepower for personal protection in 19th Century England. While most of the competition in the self-defense pistol market of the day were single shot pistols, this example would have given its user eight shots of .34 caliber ball without having to cock the hammer manually. This pistol would have been a contemporary of the Ethan Allen Pepperboxes in the United States.
This specimen has a heavy, fluted barrel cluster, bearing Birmingham proofs in the flutes. The hammer, frame and trigger guard are nicely engraved. The double action trigger is very smooth. The overall condition is very good plus. The balance of the gun wears a smoky grey patina. The markings and engraving are clear. The bores are smooth and in very good condition. The action is excellent.
The case quite nice, with green lining. It includes a ramrod, bullet mold, Eley percussion caps tin with caps inside, powder flask, patch cutter and oiler bottle.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 3 inches in length.
Caliber: .34 percussion
The bore is in very good condition and action is excellent.
Overall condition as seen in photos.
Here is a very nice English Pepperbox that was the height of the defensive pistol market.
