Antique SPRINGFIELD ARMS Co Double Trigger POCKET Model PERCUSSION Revolver SCARCE! 1 of only 125 Manufactured in 1850-51
Description: Antique SPRINGFIELD ARMS Co Double Trigger POCKET Model PERCUSSION Revolver SCARCE! 1 of only 125 Manufactured in 1850-51 Here we present an antique engraved Springfield Arms Company Double Trigger Pocket Model Percussion Revolver, manufactured circa 1850-51 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Springfield Arms Company existed only for a brief period in 1850 and 1851, making revolvers designed by its chief engineer, James Warner, before being driven out of business by Colt patent lawyers. During that time, Springfield Arms, which had no relation to the arsenal, made models in .28, .31, and .36 caliber and with a variety of barrel lengths and other features, including a well-designed safety notch to allow the guns to be carried fully loaded safely. Warner designed two different revolvers, one with two triggers and one with only one trigger. On the one trigger models, he was blatantly infringing on Colt’s Patent and only made 125 of these. On the two trigger models, in an attempt to avoid patent infringement, Warner separated the cylinder rotation and firing mechanisms into two different triggers. The front trigger would rotate and lock the cylinder, and then it would trip the rear trigger which released the sear and fired the gun. This was not sufficient to save him from copyright infringement suits, though, and only about 125 of the double-trigger revolvers were made. Out of the 250 total revolvers manufactured, 125 single trigger and 125 two triggers, this example is one of the few built, and realistically, how many total are known existing out of only 125 of these double triggers? Very few. Here is a great opportunity to pick up an extremely scare early 1850s revolver that you won’t see around very often. The overall condition is fair. Solid plum patina throughout. The action (hammer/trigger) is functional but there is no indexing or lockup of the cylinder. The bore is dim with rifling visible. The grips show much use, with the right grip showing some old damage, but they are both solid. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 2-5/8 inches. Caliber: .28 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. ancestryguns $1200 #233161 SOLD Antique: Yes |
