Description:
PostCIVIL WAR Antique CONNECTICUT ARMS CO Pocket Model Revolver .28 CUPFIRE
Rare and Unique Cartridge Design
Here we present an antique Connecticut Arms Co. Pocket Revolver. This interesting little pistol was only 1 of 2,700 and was made around the time of the American Civil War in Norfolk, Connecticut. The uniqueness of this revolver is all due to the Rollin-White Patent held exclusively by Smith & Wesson for a completely bored through cylinder. Without the ability to completely bore through a cylinder, designing a good cartridge revolver was nearly impossible, but some tried.
This design is known as cup primed and would be loaded with a cartridge from the front of the cylinder. The little lever on the right exterior of the frame is a manual ejector that could slip into a slot at the rear of the cylinder for each chamber.
The overall condition is good. The action functions but the return spring is weak. The hammer only cocks if the trigger is manually set. Good bore for its age. Both grips are solid with an average amount of handling. Legible markings. Dark patina.
