RARE LINE THROWING KIT Antique CONNECTICUT ARMS & MFG. Co. Bulldog Pistol
.41 Rimfire Deringer in Factory Wooden Case!
Here we present an antique Connecticut Arms & Manufacturing Co. Hammond Patent Bulldog Single Shot Deringer, made circa 1866 in Naubuc, Connecticut. Very few of these kits are known to exist. The Hammond brothers, Henry and Lewis, began their venture during the American Civil War in 1863. They tried for several years before they were granted a patent for this same breech-loading design found on this pistol, but they also made a longarm that was similar in function. By the time their patent and production were under way, the Civil War had reached its end and a glut of firearms on the market stymied many companies. As a result, production numbers of this pistol were quite small, and these are quite unique and desirable today.
This pistol could be used as a defensive weapon, of course, but the Hammond Brothers also thought the market needed a line thrower. This is a very neat mid-19th Century oddity!
The overall condition is Very Good. The action is strong and tight. The bore is dim but in good shape for age and black powder use. Quite the hearty little pistol with its accoutrements in great shape!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 4 inches.
Caliber: .41 Rimfire
