Description:
Antique ALLEN & THURBER Double Barrel SxS SINGLE TRIGGER Percussion Pistol
RARE 1 of Less Than 1000 Made!
Here we present an antique Allen & Thurber Double Barrel Single Trigger Percussion pistol manufactured circa 1850 in Worcester, Massachusetts. This is one of an estimated 500-1,000 manufactured circa the 1850s as an attempt to produce a pocket pistol with the increased firepower of two shots instead of one. A single trigger operates both hammers (releasing both hammers individually on two separate pulls).
In a day when the single shot pistol was the standard, this side by side percussion pistol would have been a very handy self-defense weapon to have around, having two shots to fire off instead of one! This little self-defense pistol would have been most at home in the pocket of anyone in the busy city of London during the tumultuous times of the mid-1800s. These type pistols are small, light and simple.
The overall condition is good. Gray patina. The action is functional, but a single pull of the trigger will drop both hammers at once. The grips are worn though still solid. The bores are dim.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 3-1/4 inches.
Caliber: .32 Percussion
Overall condition as seen in photos.
