GOLD RUSH Era ALLEN & THURBER Antique WORCHESTER Period PEPPERBOX Revolver
First American Double Action Revolving Percussion Pistol
Description: GOLD RUSH Era ALLEN & THURBER Antique WORCHESTER Period PEPPERBOX Revolver First American Double Action Revolving Percussion Pistol Here we present an antique Allen Thurber & Co. Bar Hammer 6-shot Percussion Pepperbox pistol made circa 1854 to 1856 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Only six-barrel pepperbox pistols were produced during the Grafton and Norwich periods (1837–1847), and all had smooth barrel external contours until the later Worchester and Allen and Wheelock period, when fluted barrels became the norm. Though this is a six shot, it was during the Worchester period that the five-shot pepperbox was introduced. Percussion nipples were integrated to the barrels. Made with a bar hammer and standard trigger, models have been encountered with or without an integral nipple shield. While simplifying shooting (no manual cocking of the hammer), the bar hammer did preclude the inclusion of usable sights. However, this early example of a double-action pistol must have been quite a selling point. 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 overall condition is good. Original dark brown patina. The trigger drops the hammer, but the cylinder does not index. Lightly engraved frame and backstrap. Both grips are in very good shape with average handling wear. Markings are legible. The bores are in good shape for their ages and remain smooth. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/4 inches.
