Description:
c1860s mfr. BACON Mfg. Co. Pocket Revolver .31 Caliber PERCUSSION Antique
By Thomas Bacon of NORWICH, CONNECTICUT!
Here we present an antique Bacon Manufacturing Company Pocket Revolver, made circa the early 1860s in Norwich, Connecticut with a production run between 1858 and 1867. Thomas K. Bacon was the founder of the company and was also involved with the Manhattan Fire Arms Co. as the superintendent. He also had business dealings with Ethan Allen and Allen & Thurber.
When Manhattan moved their operation away from Norwich, Bacon left the company to stay behind and work on his own firearms manufacturing company. Part of Bacon’s contract with Manhattan included a “no-compete” clause that he would have been in violation of if the heads of Manhattan had bothered to sign the agreement. Nevertheless, they still took him to court with no official judgement recorded. Bacon’s arms were popular on the commercial market and many made their way onto Civil War battlefields upon being privately purchased by soldiers. Here is a nicely engraved Thomas Bacon revolver to add to your Civil War collection!
Dark original patina. The hammer/trigger are strong but the cylinder does not revolve without manual help. The bore is dark and scaley. The grip is worn and smooth.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 6 inches.
