Description:
FOREHAND & WADSWORTH Antique “BRITISH BULL-DOG” Double Action .44 REVOLVER

19th Century 5-Shot Conceal Carry Revolver

Here we present an antique Forehand & Wadsworth “BRITISH BULL-DOG” .44 Caliber Double Action Revolver, made circa the mid-1880s with a production run from 1879 to 1890 in Worchester, Massachusetts. The revolver was a small, well-built, self-defense weapon, ideal for potent conceal and carry in the closing decades of the tumultuous 19th Century.  It was made by the sons-in-law of Ethan Allen, the successful firearms inventor and manufacturer from the 1830s.  This revolver features a double/single action trigger and five shots of .41 caliber.  This top strap is marked “BRITISH/BULL-DOG”.

These were petite and handy little guns that chambered 5 cartridges, perfect for the pocket and enough to get out of most scrapes. With gangsters, and career criminals running rampant, this example would have been the “pocket advantage” a person needed.

The overall condition is fine. Robust action. Bright bore. Original nickel finish preserved. The markings are clear. Both grips are in fine shape with sharp checkering. Numbers match.
