Description:
Antique CIVIL WAR/WILD WEST Era C. SHARPS Model 2 .30 RF PEPPERBOX Revolver
4-Shot FRONTIER Self Defense Pocket Gun
Here we present an antique Sharps Model 2 Pepperbox Revolver in .30 Rimfire, with a production run from 1859 to 1874 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Christian Sharps invented his famously namesake large bore, breech-loading rifle in 1848, after practicing gun-making under John Hall at Harpers Ferry Armory. Over the decade and half that Sharps produced his little pistols, some 156,000+ would be manufactured in four basic types.
In 1859, he premiered another unique design in the 4-barreled pepperbox pistol with a unique revolving firing pin, made for 19th Century concealed carry. In 1862, William Hankins joined the firm and the company became “Sharps & Hankins”. When the partnership was dissolved in 1867, production of this model was stopped entirely. Production ceased with the death of Christian Sharps in 1874.
The overall condition is good. Original, dark barrel patina. Bright bores with serviceable rifling. Visible numbers match. A repaired left grip, otherwise both are solid. Strong action with a fully rotating firing pin. Markings are legible.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
