NEW YORK 1854 Antique WILLIAM W. MARSTON 6-Shot PEPPERBOX Pistol BELLY GUN
CIVIL WAR Era Multi-Shot SELF DEFENSE Pistol
Description: NEW YORK 1854 Antique WILLIAM W. MARSTON 6-Shot PEPPERBOX Pistol BELLY GUN CIVIL WAR Era Multi-Shot SELF DEFENSE Pistol Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique W. W. Marston & Company 6-Shot Percussion Pepperbox Pistol, made circa the mid-1850s in New York City, New York. Marston marked their pepperboxes often without the Marston name and instead used the names Washington Arms, Union Arms and Phenix Armory. Finding these Marston Pepperboxes is pretty hard to do, as many were used hard on their way to the gold fields of California. One can almost imagine seeing gamblers sporting one of these as they were paddle wheeling down the Mississippi River. The history that these 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. Made with a bar hammer and standard trigger, the percussion nipples were integrated to the barrels. 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 very good. Original finish and patina. The action is very strong. The bores are smooth. The grips are solid. Serial numbers on the frame and grips match and the assembly numbers on the barrel and trigger match. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3 1/4 inches. Caliber: .32 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. $1400 #260451 SOLD Antique: Yes |
