Description: Original U.S. 19th Century Sharps & Hankins Model 3C .32 Short Rimfire 4 Barrel Pepperbox Pistol - Serial 5497      This is exactly what the Mississippi gamblers carried on the River Boats after the Civil War for self protection. Featuring FOUR barrels, each in .32 Short Rimfire that fire individually by way of a single action hammer with a rotating internal firing pin. Easy to conceal due to the size and small "spur" style trigger, these were very popular. The barrel easily removed by pulling down the button on the left side of the frame and sliding the barrel off forwards for reloading, which also ejects the spent cartridges. The hammer must be in the half-cock position for the barrels to unlock and slide forward. The underside of the barrel is marked with serial number 5497 on the dovetail, which is also marked on the bottom of the grip. This is a all-matching example of the rare Sharps & Hankins Model 3C Pistol, a predecessor to the later Sharps 4A "Bulldog". The top of the barrel assembly has the correct Sharps & Hankins address, which is mostly clear: ADDRESS SHARPS & HANKINS PHILADELPHIA PENN. The pistol is also marked on the side of the lower frame:- C. SHARPS PATENT JAN. 25. 1859 Call RW Outdoors at 406-842-5271 with any questions.
