Description:
Antique ALLEN & THURBER Double Action PEPPERBOX
Engraved, Early 6-Shot Revolver
Here we present an antique Allen & Thurber Bar Hammer Pepperbox Pistol. Ethan Allen was already a prolific inventor and successful businessman in the 1830s when he came up with this design. This percussion, six shot, double-action pocket pistol was a very popular pistol that was produced in Worcester, Massachusetts. It’s a .31 caliber pepperbox with a revolving ribbed barrel and has factory engravings in a floral motif executed on both sides of the frame. Made from 1837-1865, these pistols enjoyed even greater popularity than Sam Colt’s first pistol. The history that these pistols enjoyed over the years is astounding: the Seminole Wars, Gold Rush, Mexican War and American Civil War. These guns are true relics of American history.
The hammer is marked “ALLEN’S PATENT”. The barrel is marked “PATENTED 1837 CAST-STEEL” and “ALLEN&THURBER WORCESTER”.
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces have an even gray patina. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut grips are in good condition. The bores are smooth & clear. The action on this pepperbox is strong. Here is an early example of an American revolver!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 3-1/4 inches.
Caliber: .31 Percussion
