Description:
ETHAN ALLEN & WHEELOCK Antique SIDEHAMMER Percussion Revolver ENGRAVED 1860
1 of only 750 Made w Unique Trigger Guard Rammer!
Here we present an Engraved Antique Allen & Wheelock Sidehammer Percussion Revolver in .32 Caliber, made circa 1857-1861, in Worcester, Massachusetts. Allen & Wheelock produced a series of pistols based upon this action that were all essentially the same except for their overall size and caliber. The largest was the .36, six shot “Side Hammer Navy” revolver, the middle-sized gun, as this one is, was the .32 “Side Hammer Belt” revolver and smallest was the pocket revolver, which was manufactured in .28 caliber. Both of the smaller guns had five shot cylinders. The .32 caliber belt revolver was the middle-sized pistol of the series and was manufactured with barrels ranging from 3-inches to 6-inches in length. All of the pistols in the series featured engraved cylinders that were embellished with scenes of game like deer and rabbits, combined with a forest motif. These pistols were produced from about 1857 through 1861 and it is estimated that roughly 750 of these “belt sized” revolvers were produced. This revolver represents a very rare Civil War period handgun.
This one has been factory engraved. An interesting detail lies in the function of the loading lever or rammer being integrated into the trigger guard. Simply press the catch and the front part of the guard is the lever for the rammer.
The overall condition is Very Good. The action is as strong as ever. The bore is dark with the lands and grooves remaining sharp. The engravings are clear on the frame and barrel. The cylinder scene is faded, but many trees and some wildlife can be seen. The serial number “100” matches on the frame, cylinder, and cylinder arbor pin. A truly unique piece for display in any collection!
