Description:
CIVIL WAR Era Antique BACON Mfg. Pocket Revolver
Nice Spur Trigger by Thomas Bacon of Norwich, Connecticut
Here we present an antique Bacon Manufacturing Company Pocket Revolver, made circa the early 1860s in Norwich, Connecticut. Thomas K. Bacon was the founder of the company and was also involved with the Manhattan Fire Arms Co. as the superintendent. He also had business dealings with Ethan Allen and Allen & Thurber. When Manhattan moved their operation away from Norwich, Bacon left the company to stay behind and work on his own firearms manufacturing company. Part of Bacon’s contract with Manhattan included a “no-compete” clause that he would have been in violation of if the heads of Manhattan had bothered to sign the agreement. Nevertheless, they still took him to court with no official judgement recorded. Bacon’s arms were popular on the commercial market and many made their way onto Civil War battlefields upon being privately purchased by soldiers.
This revolver bettered Smith & Wesson’s models in the same caliber but would have been violating S&W’s patent at the time of its manufacture, therefore limiting the number of these that could have been made. Here is a nice Thomas Bacon revolver to add to your Civil War collection!
The overall condition is very good. Lots of original blue finish remains, turning plum with age. The markings are clear. The rosewood grips are in very nice shape. The bore is in great shape with strong rifling. The action remains excellent.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 4 inches.
Caliber: .32 Rimfire
