SCARCE Antique EBEN T. STARR .32 RF Fourth Model PEPPERBOX Pistol WILD WEST
Only 2,000 Estimated Made in the Mid to Late 1860s
Here we present an antique Eben T. Starr Fourth Model Pepperbox Pistol, manufactured circa 1864-69 in New York, New York. This pistol was designed by prolific inventor Eben T. Starr and it very much resembles Christian Sharps’ own pepperbox pistol, complete with a revolving firing pin. The Starrs were actually produced by the Merrill Patent Firearms Mfg. Co. in Baltimore, Maryland. Starr was also the inventor of several Civil War weapons including both a double and a single action revolver as well as a cavalry carbine.
This example has the left side of the plate marked “STARR’S PAT’S/MAY 10, 1864”. Unlike the Sharps Pepperbox, the Starr features a distinct push-button trigger, a side-mounted hammer, and a rotating firing pin that is housed within the frame rather than on the hammer. The barrels also pivot on a hinge at the front of the frame rather than sliding forward.
The overall condition is good. Original silver is present on the frame and backstrap. Strong action. Fully rotating firing pin. The bores are in good shape for their ages, have dimmed, and thinned rifling. Very good, solid grips. Legible markings.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 2-3/4 inches.
Caliber: .32 Rimfire
Overall condition as seen in photos.
