Description:
AN EARLY AND DESIRABLE CIVIL WAR MASS. ARMS CO. MAYNARD PRIMED PERCUSSION BELT MODEL REVOLVER ALSO KNOWN AS "THE JOHN BROWN MODEL" IN ITS ORIGINAL CASE WITH ACCESSORIES AND IN FINE UNTOUCHED CONDITION. SERIAL #922, ALL MATCHING NUMBERS AND COMPLETE. IT HAS A 5 INCH BARREL ON IT. ONLY 1,000 WERE MADE FROM 1851-1857. THE REVOLVER HAS FINE METAL AND MARKINGS INCLUDING THE CLEAR CYLINDER SCENE. THE MAYNARD PRIMER DOOR ALSO HAS A VERY CLEAR EAGLE AND MARKINGS ON IT. THE BARREL ON THE GUN RETAINS NEARLY ALL OF ITS FACTORY BLUE WHILE THE CYLINDER HAS MOST OF ITS ORIGINAL BLUE WHICH IS THINNING IN SPOTS TO A PLUM BROWN. THE FRAME AND LOCK AREAS HAVE A MIX OF ORIGINAL CASE COLORS AND NATURAL PLUM BROWN PATINA ON THEM. THE BACKSTRAP AND TRIGGER GUARD RETAIN ALL OF THEIR ORIGINAL DARKENING SILVER ON THEM. THE GRIPS ARE EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT WITH THEIR ORIGINAL OIL VARNISH. THE GUN HAS AN EXCELENT ACTION AND BORE.
THE ORIGINAL CASE AND ACCESSORIES ARE ALL IN FINE UNTOUCHED CONDITION AS SHOWN. THE BOX HAS A FINE UNTOUCHED LINING INSIDE. HE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX IS ALSO FINE. THE ACCESSORIES INCLUDE A MASS ARMS CO. MARKED FLASK, A MASS ARMS CO. MARKED BRASS MOLD, TWO MARKED BRASS TOPPED MAYNARD PRIMER TINS WITH ONE HAVING TWO ROLLS OF PRIMERS, AND A BRASS PLUNGER TOOL.
IT IS KNOWN THAT 200 OF THIS MODEL WERE SOLD TO THE ABOLITIONIST "JOHN BROWN" FOR HIS USE IN 1857. FIRST SHIPPED TO A FARM IN OHIO, THEY WERE TRANS-SHIPPED TO HIM IN KANSAS IN 1859. THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THIS GIVES THIS GUN A GOOD CHANCE TO BE IN THAT BATCH OF 200. THIS IS A VERY FINE AND UNTOUCHED MASS. ARMS CO. MAYNARD PRIMED PERCUSSION BELT MODEL REVOLVER WITH MOST LIKELY VERY GOOD EARLY CIVIL WAR HISTORY.
ONE OTHER NOTE ABOUT THIS SET IS THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM A FAMILY THAT WHO WERE DESCENDANTS OF THE BRIGHAM YOUNG FAMILY AND SAID THAT THE SET WAS HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS TO THEM!
