Description:
Serial #670, .320 CF, 4" octagon barrel with a very good bore that has light-moderate freckling within the grooves. This is a "P. HAST. COLCHESTER" marked revolver that retains 70-75% of the original bright blue on the barrel and cylinder, with some fading and silvering along the raised edges of the barrel facets and the cylinder faces. The frame has a mottled patina with traces of original color case-hardening still visible, and the hammer and trigger retain some of the original armory bright finish. The checkered walnut grip has a pronounced saw-handle profile, and is in very good-fine shape with a few light handling marks, and some mild flattening of the points. The lock-up is tight, and the action functions flawlessly. This is the Tipping & Lawden Self-Extracting design which has a separate barrel that rotates and pulls away from the fixed extractor. It was made by Philip Hast, who was a Colchester gunmaker in the mid-late 19th century. This is a fine-example of a rarely seen British revolver, with a fascinating and complicated design. Antique
