Description:
SCARCE & TINY Antique Allen .22 Single Shot Pistol
Very Nice Little Conceal Carry Pistol from Ethan Allen
Here we present an antique E. Allen & Co. .22 Tiny Single Shot Pistol, made circa 1865 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Ethan Allen was a manufacturer of tools beginning in about 1831. By 1837 he patented a double action mechanism and began producing firearms, for which he became famous. He made many different variations of single shot pistols and pepperbox revolvers, the latter of which achieved great popularity and were carried by many through the period of the Civil War. These pepperboxes were even more popular for a time than Samuel Colt’s revolvers! His company changed names many times, according to who he was partnering with. His firearms were prolific all the way until the time of his death in 1871.
This .22 pistol is very small, sporting a 3-inch, part-round, part-octagonal barrel. It measures only 5-1/2 inches from muzzle to the bottom of the bird’s head grip. The barrel swivels to the right, activating an automatic ejector, and allowing one to load the gun. It would have made an extremely lightweight and concealable pistol to carry to defend oneself. The left side of the barrel is marked “E. ALLEN & CO. WORCESTER MASSACHUSETTS/ALLEN’S PAT. MCH. 7 1865”.
The overall condition is near fine. The original blue finish is about 20% present on the barrel. The markings are clear and legible. The serial numbers match. The grips are very nice and have the original varnish on them. The serial numbers on the grips also match. The bore is in very good condition. The action is excellent.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 3 inches.
Caliber: .22 Rimfire
