Description:
EARLY PITTSBURGH Antique COOPER .31 Caliber Revolver
With Early Serial Number “156”!
Here we present an antique J.M. Cooper Double Action Pocket Revolver in .31 Caliber, made circa 1860 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During a time of rapid innovation in firearms technology and an insatiable market due to rapid expansion and the American Civil War, dozens of makers seized their opportunity to put their ideas on the market. The J.M. Cooper Double Action Revolver took the concept of the Colt 1849 Pocket Model and improved it by giving it a double action firing mechanism. Only about 15,000 of these Pocket Models were made from the 1850s to 1869, making these quite scarce. Though there are no known military contracts, they made their way onto Civil War battlefields when soldiers purchased them privately for that purpose.
The overall condition is very good plus. The original blue finish is 65%. Case colors are still visible. The markings are clear. The numbers match throughout. The bore is in good shape with sharp rifling. There is a little bit of play in the barrel to frame fit that has occurred with use. The action is excellent. Here is a very early example of a really neat double action percussion revolver that was used by many during the Civil War!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 5 inches.
Caliber: .31 Percussion
