Description:
Very rare Hopkins & Allen low serial #8,  in 22 RF, 2 1/4" round barrel with a moderately oxidized bore. The metal surfaces of this tiny pistol retain about 90%  nickel finish showing some scattered areas of light flaking toning to a dark brown patina, a few pinprick pits and tiny dings, and also made without a front sight. The barrel markings are still entirely intact and legible. The smooth rosewood grips remain in very good plus condition showing a couple tiny chips along the edges, light handling marks and worn finish; the grip screw head shows moderate slot wear. Barrel lock-up shows a little bit of play and the hammer seems to function well mechanically. A solid example of these interesting little pistol with only about 1500 produced. This small istol fits in the palm or your hand. Top of barrel staytes VEST POCKET.  This is antique unless your state considers it modern like PA!  When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You.
