ENGRAVED Antique MERWIN & HULBERT Single Action Revolver .44-40 WINCHESTER
CALIBRE WINCHESTER 1873
Description: ENGRAVED Antique MERWIN & HULBERT Single Action Revolver .44-40 WINCHESTER CALIBRE WINCHESTER 1873 Here we present an antique Factory Engraved Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Large Frame Single Action Army Revolver, made circa 1876-1881 in Norwich, Connecticut. These were made by Hopkins & Allen for Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Only several thousand are thought to have been produced. This Army features 6 shots of .44-40 WCF or, as Merwin & Hulbert put it: “CALIBRE WINCHESTER 1873”. These revolvers are considered today to be some of the best made of the late 19th Century and the Wild West, even better to some than similar Colts and Smith & Wessons, though we all know who stood the test of time. These revolvers certainly tended to have different, very well-thought features than their competition, and they were extremely well-made. One such feature was the method of ejection. Loading was achieved by placing the hammer at half-cock and sliding down the loading gate to single feed cartridges. If one wanted to unload the gun, they could simply push the latch back on the bottom of the gun, twist the barrel and cylinder assembly and pull forward. Only the empty brass would come out as the space created was shorter than a loaded cartridge, enabling the shooter to top of his gun and keep rounds available. An ingenious method was designed to achieve this that included a machined cut on the cylinder axis pin and a ledge on the breech face that kept the cartridge rims underneath. This system was also advantageous for forcefully removing stuck cartridges, providing lots of mechanical advantage. The overall condition is nearing fine. Original nickel finish. Excellent action. The bore is semi-bright and remains in good shape for its age. Detailed floral motifs cover the majority of this piece. Both grips are in good shape with an average amount of wear. A very handsome M&H! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 6-3/4 inches. Caliber: .44-40 Winchester Center 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 $5895 #217501 SOLD Antique: Yes |
