Description:
THIS ANTIQUE FOREHAND & WADSWORTH 4TH MODEL BRITISH BULLDOG IS FRAME SERIAL #7685 AND THE CYLINDER IS STAMPED 76852 SO THE LAST DIGIT OF THE FRAME # WAS PROBABLY WORN OR POLISHED OFF AT SOME POINT WHEN IT WAS NICKELED OR RENICKLED. MY FFL PUT IT IN HIS BOOKS AS #7685. IT IS BEING SOLD AS A "PROJECT GUN" BECAUSE THE TRIGGER RETURN SPRING DOESN'T RETURN THE TRIGGER TO BATTERY AFTER FIRING AND THE HAMMER MUST BE SLIGHTLY RETRACTED FOR TRIGGER RESET AND FIRING THE NEXT DOUBLE ACTION SHOT. IT HAS A 2 1/2" BARREL. IT IS A DOUBLE ACTION ONLY AND IS CHAMBERED FOR THE 32 S&W BLACK POWDER CARTRIDGE. IT WAS BUILT BEFORE THE FOREHAND & WADSWORTH FACTORY CHANGED HANDS IN 1890 AND THERE WERE NO SMOKELESS POWDER LOADS AT THAT TIME. IT IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL EXCEPT FOR THAT WEAK TRIGGER RETURN SPRING. BOTH GRIPS ARE CHIPPED ON THE BACKSTRAP (SEE PICTURES). THE 7 CYLINDERS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE BORE HAS A BIT OF LIGHT SCATTERED PITTING. AS IT ACCEPTS MODERN 32 S&W ROUNDS RHODE ISLAND REQUIRES ME TO SHIP IT VIA MY FFL TO YOUR FFL. IT SHOULD ONLY BE FIRED WITH BLACK POWDER LOADS. IF YOU CAN GET THE SPRING ( A SIMPLE "V" TYPE UNDER THE TRIGGER GUARD) IT SHOULD BE A FUN BLACK POWDER ROUND SHOOTER.
SOLD AS IS NO RETURNS AS A PROJECT GUN.
SHIPPING IS $75 MY FFL TO YOUR FFL
