Description:
SOLD An intriguing english Adams/Tranter percussion revolver of about 12" length overall, and a 6 1/4" octagonal barrel with a clean , rifled bore of about .450cal. Identifing marks are: Above the trigger on the left side: PATENT No. 5169. the top strap hs very fine writing I can't read, and the English hand checkered walnut wood grips are very goof. Rxterior metal is grey and a few patches of very fine pits but not a rusty gun, Double action works sometimes with the muzzle downward and after each discharge the trigger must be pushed foreward for the next cycle. I suspect that a ore stout trigger return spring may be needed Here is what another vendor has said about thos type of gun: This is a VERY GOOD condition example of an English Adams Pattern Webley Wedge Frame double-action percussion revolver, as produced from the late-1850s through the mid-1860s. These guns provided less expensive alternatives to the Adams and Tranter patent revolvers of the day. The primary cost savings was in the use of a two-piece frame and barrel design, similar to Colt revolvers, with the two parts held together via a “wedge”. Adams and Tranter patent revolvers utilized one-piece frame/barrel assemblies that were forged from a single piece of metal and were much stronger and less prone to breakage and wear with age. The one-piece design could not “shoot loose” with repeated use, as wedge secured two-piece revolvers could. The “wedge” frame design is attributed to Birmingham gun maker Philip Webley, although Webley himself seemed to have manufactured very few of the guns. The simplified double-action lock mechanism typically encountered in these revolvers is usually of the Joseph Bentley design, and these guns are often referred to as Webley-Bentley revolvers, even though they were produced by many Birmingham gun makers and are often unmarked.Many of these guns were imported by the Confederacy. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You[JB1]
