Description:
CIVIL WAR Era Antique JOSIAH ELLS Bar Hammer .28 Cal. PERCUSSION Revolver
SCARCE 1 of only 625 Manufactured; FIRST MODEL Engraved Antebellum Revolver
Here we present an engraved antique First Model Josiah Ells Patent Bar Hammer Percussion Revolver, made in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania circa 1857-59 with a total production run of only 625 revolvers. This percussion Bar Hammer revolver marked Josiah Ells entry into the pistol-making business in early 1857. The First Model revolvers were all chambered in .28 caliber offered in either 2-1/2 or 3 inch barrels with an “open top” frame. The cylinders were offered in 5 or 6 shots. The marking on the left side of the bar hammer reads “ELLS PATENT” with “1854” on the right. These little revolvers are extremely rare with so few being made.
The overall condition is good and untouched. The action functions. The bore is in good shape. Both sides of the frame and the cylinder have nice floral motifs. The right side of the hammer is dated “1854”. The finish has matured to a dark patina. Here is a unique piece of history to collect and display!
