FINE Antique Civil War Front Loading Revolver by Plant's Mfg. Co.
Description: Antique Plant’s Front Loading Revolver Finest Condition You Are Likely to See! Here we present an antique Plant’s Manufacturing Company Front Loading Pocket Revolver, made circa 1864 in New Haven, Connecticut. Only 20,000 were made. This was one of the few relatively successful designs that made it around the Smith & Wesson owned Rollin White Patent for the bored through cylinder, which was held and vigorously defended until about 1869 or 1870. This was done by keeping a “lip” at the back of each cylinder chamber, so that the cylinder was not completely bored through and was loaded from the front versus the back of the cylinder. This is why the ejector is located behind the cylinder. The ammunition was unique to this gun in that the bullet’s tip sat flush or below the neck of the cartridge and then neck was flush with the leading edge of the chamber. The back of the cartridge had a distinct cup-shape in which the primer was located. This represents the pocket version of the design. There were belt-sized versions available as well. It holds 5 shots of .30 caliber ammunition. It is beautifully preserved in very fine condition. The brass frame still bears about 90% of the silver finish. The grips are a bit red in color and are in very good condition. The barrel and cylinder show most of their original high polish blue finish. The different colors make for a gorgeous gun. The “Merwin & Bray” barrel markings are clear. Serial number is 7410 and all numbers match. Bore is fine and the action is excellent. You are not likely to ever see a better specimen. Lots of firearms history here as well! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3.5 inches in length. Caliber: .30 cup primed cartridge Bore is in very good condition and the revolver is in fantastic working order. Overall condition as seen in photos. Here is an excellent example of a very interesting design. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1950 #21576 SOLD Antique: Yes |
