Antique STOCKING & Co. .28 Percussion PEPPERBOX Point & Shoot BELLY GUN
ENGRAVED Pre-CIVIL WAR Era 6-Shot Pepperbox
Description: Antique STOCKING & Co. .28 Percussion PEPPERBOX Point & Shoot BELLY GUN ENGRAVED Pre-CIVIL WAR Era 6-Shot Pepperbox Here we present an antique Engraved Stocking & Co. Single Action Pepperbox Revolver, manufactured circa 1849-1852 in Worcester, Massachusetts. These guns were single action, bar hammer pistols with 6-shot ribbed barrel clusters that were typically between 3” and 6” in length. The guns were available in .28, .31 and .36 caliber variants, and were produced with and without a nipple shield around the breech. Most were manufactured with nipples that were integral with the barrels, but removable nipples versions were made on a limited basis. Standard finish was blued barrels and frames with a case hardened hammer and two-piece walnut grip. The guns were batch or assembly numbered, and no records survive to indicate the total number of arms produced. According to Frank Seller’s “American Gunsmiths” the firm was only in business between 1849 and 1852, and it is generally believed that only a few hundred Stocking & Company pepperboxes were produced. Today, the Stocking & Company pepperboxes are quite rare and are prized additions to collections of American made pepperbox pistols. The bar hammer did preclude the inclusion of usable sights. As these were considered “point and shoot” short range defensive weapons or “belly guns”, the market did not seem to object to the limitation of not having sights. The history that pepperbox pistols enjoyed over the years is astounding: the Seminole Wars, Gold Rush, Mexican War and American Civil War. These guns are true relics of American history. The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent. The bores are smooth and patinated. The grips show use and the name “BEARD” is inscribed on the front of the right panel. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4 inches. Caliber: .28 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1500 #240356 SOLD Antique: Yes |
