Post-CIVIL WAR Antique CONNECTICUT ARMS CO. Pocket Model CUPFIRE Revolver 

Rare and Unique 6-shot Cupfire Cartridge Design

Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Connecticut Arms Co. Pocket Revolver. This gorgeous little pistol was only 1 of 2,700 and was made around the time of the close of the American Civil War in Norfolk, Connecticut. The uniqueness of this revolver is all due to the Rollin-White Patent held exclusively by Smith & Wesson for a completely bored through cylinder. Without the ability to completely bore through a cylinder, designing a good cartridge revolver was nearly impossible, but some tried.

This design is known as cup primed and would be loaded with a cartridge from the front of the cylinder. The little lever on the right exterior of the frame is a manual ejector that could slip into a slot at the rear of the cylinder for each chamber.

The overall condition is nearing fine. Much original silver remains on the frame. Original blue is found on the barrel. Markings are legible. Both grips are good showing dings, dents, and scuffs. Strong action. A single chamber on he cylinder has a small dent. Shiny bore with strong rifling. Add this exceedingly rare developmental revolver to your collection!

Barrel is 3 inches.
