Antique MERWIN & BRAY Front Loading PLANT Revolver
Description: Antique MERWIN & BRAY Front Loading PLANT Revolver Very Fine Example of a Unique Revolver Here we present an antique Pocket Model Plant Revolver, made circa 1864 in New York. Makers of revolvers during the American Civil War had three choices: 1) they could take their chances violating the Smith & Wesson owned Rollin White Patent for the concept of a “bored through cylinder” to accept metallic cartridges, 2) they could continue to make percussion guns with all of their disadvantages, or 3) they could invent their own concept that was both an improvement over percussion guns and circumvented the Rollin White Patent. The latter option is what Plant’s chose. Plant’s Mfg. Co. was financed and represented by the famed firearms agents Merwin & Bray, hence their name on the top of the barrel. Their revolver featured a “cup-primed” and front-loading concept, which was among the best attempts to get around S&W’s 12-1/2 year stronghold on cartridge revolvers. They found relative success with the public rather than with the military. The overall condition of this revolver is very fine. The original blue finish is about 90%. The original silver plate on the brass frame is about 75%. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is sharp and shiny bright. The rosewood grips are very good. The action on this revolver is strong, though the cylinder has difficulty revolving on two of the five chambers. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-½ inches. Caliber: .30 Cup-Fire 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 $765 #6190 SOLD Antique: Yes |
