SOLD PENDING PAYMENT...TAKING BACKUP OFFERS
A Belgium made and marked Winchester .44 from the late 1870's is offered here in wonderful, fully functional shape! These pistols are rare and highly collectible in this condition. This is a 6 shot break open design with extractors. A nice holster comes with it to complete the look!
When most people think about the handguns of the American West, the Colt Single Action Army revolver, followed quickly by the revolvers produced by Smith & Wesson are the ones that probably first come to mind. Further reflection usually provides a somewhat longer list that includes the names Remington, Merwin, Hulbert & Company, and maybe even some less widely known makers like Hopkins & Allen, Forehand & Wadsworth and even Iver Johnson. What does not come to mind are the numerous Belgian made large frame revolvers that were imported by catalog sales companies like Montgomery Ward (established in 1872) and later Sears, Roebuck & Company (established in 1886). These guns rarely bore any specific makers’ name, but rather would carry names like “Frontier Army” and would be described in terms that inferred that the guns were almost as good as Colt’s (or Smith & Wesson’s, etc.) but were usually priced between about ¼ or 1/3 of the price of the name brand competition. While these guns were certainly not the equal of American made arms of the period, they did offer what many inexpensive handguns offer today; a reasonably priced opportunity to take the protection of one’s self, family and property into their own hands, and to be self-reliant in a harsh and often dangerous environment. These guns were typically solid frame guns with a double action lockwork that resembled the profile of large frame Smith & Wesson revolvers, but were not actual copies of any specific American brand or model. While these Belgian guns from the late frontier period of the American West are certainly not uncommon, they are difficult to find in better grades of condition. These guns got carried, handled and used a lot, and are usually found well-worn and often with mechanical problems. While certainly not as sexy or popular as the other large frame revolvers of the period for today’s collectors, these Belgian made guns are an opportunity to buy real “old west” revolvers much more reasonably than their American competition, making them attractive for the same reasons today as they were during the 1880s, 1890s and early years of the 20th century.
