Description:

A CLASSIC BULL DOG REVOLVER,  FROM A  "FAMOUS AMERICAN GUNMAKER,"   WHO IS A COLLECTING FIELD UNTO HIMSELF.
 E. A.  PRESCOTT
 Worcester, Mass.,  From 1860 to 1874,  was an ex-employee of Ethan Allen, and a maker of a rim-fire cartridge revolvers distributed by Merwin & Bray. These arms were an infringement on the Rollin White patent that was controlled by Smith & Wesson...  the production was discontinued in 1863, by a court order,  but he continued making this and other models up through the 1880's. 
This is the Double Action, .38 rimfire, with the Scarce 1 3/4 inch barrel,  and the extremely hard to find   

"UNION  No 3 s"  on the top strap marking.    
This model Prescott closely resembles the British Bulldog with a few differences, the heavy brass frame.  (nice mellow patina),  mechanically functions perfectly...
Flayderman: 8A-139  c. 1870's
