Antique MERWIN & BRAY Front Loading CUP PRIMED Single Action POCKET Revolver Small Scale Version of Plant’s Army Model with HOLSTER!
Description: Antique MERWIN & BRAY Front Loading CUP PRIMED Single Action POCKET Revolver Small Scale Version of Plant’s Army Model with HOLSTER! Here we present an antique Merwin & Bray Front Loading Plant Manufacturing Company Pocket Model Revolver, made circa 1865 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. Around 20,000 of these were manufactured in mid-1860s. Atop the barrel rib "MERWIN & BRAY FIRE-ARMS CO" can be read. "PATENTED. JULY 12. 1859. & JULY 21. 1863" can be seen on the cylinder. The serial number is on the barrel, the butt, the left side of the grip, and the inside the right grip. This example also comes with a leather holster with silver heart ornament. 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 is fine. Original blue finish and silver plate on the brass frame. The action is strong. Glossy rosewood grips. The bore is in good shape with nice rifling. The leather holster is near fine. A truly handsome little rig from the 1860s! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/2 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 $1625 #200883 SOLD Antique: Yes |
