Description:
RARE Antique HOPKINS & ALLEN .31 Percussion POCKET Revolver 3rd Model BACON
Very Scarce Revolver with GREAT CYLINDER SCENES
Here we present an antique Hopkins & Allen Percussion Pocket Revolver, made just after the close of the Civil War with only 1,000 of these manufactured. This was actually a successor to Thomas Bacon’s Pocket Revolver, having a few changes, but mainly eventually being rebranded as the “DICTATOR” after Bacon’s operation was acquired by Hopkins & Allen. The cylinder features 5 distinct scenes in scrolled ovals including: a federal eagle with a clutch of arrows, an axe leaning against a barrel, a Native American brave, a dog, and a bear. Like other revolvers of this size, it was meant to serve as a concealable self-defense revolver.
These rare little revolvers are classified as a “3rd Model Bacon” Pocket Model revolver as it was made by Hopkins and Allen after they took over the Bacon firm in 1867. It is a 5-shot, .31 caliber with an unfluted cylinder. This is a hard revolver to find in any condition, much less one as sharp as this one.
The overall condition is good. The action functions but the hammer will not drop without manual assistance when the trigger is pulled. Good bore for its age. Solid grips. Markings are legible. The cylinder scene is in good shape.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 4 inches.
Caliber: .31 Percussion
Overall condition as seen in photos.
