Description:
c1876 Antique JAMES REID My Friend KNUCKLE DUSTER .32 RF Revolver ENGRAVED
Catskill, New York BRASS KNUCKLE-PISTOL Combination
Here we present an antique James Reid Manufactory “My Friend” Knuckle Duster Revolving Pistol, made circa 1876. Only 3,100 of these were produced from 1870 through 1882, making them quite scarce. The maker, James Reid, was born in Belfast, Ireland, was trained as a gunsmith in Glasgow, Scotland, and then migrated to the United States where he first set up shop in New York City. In 1865, he moved his family and then his shop to Catskill to get out of the city and into the country for health reasons.
He kept a gristmill and his gun manufactory there, where he spent the next decade and a half producing his famous little gun. And was successful in spite of the fierce competition of 1870s small arms manufacturing. This was a time when small, single action pocket revolvers were so plentiful that Colt could hardly compete. But this pistol had the five shots of .32 and the ability to be turned around and used to knock some teeth out. Not a bad feature on a revolver for a rough and tumble end of the 19th Century. Certainly no wonder why it would be called “My Friend”. This specimen features an engraved brass frame. The cylinder holds 5 shots of .32 caliber rimfire.
The overall condition is good. Nice patina with traces of original finish throughout. The action of the hammer and trigger are strong, though the indexing of the cylinder is a bit intermittent due to a weak hand spring. The bores are patinated and smooth. The numbers match. This one has the safety slide built in. A nice example of a scarce and unique revolver design from the 1870s!
This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 1-9/16 inches.
Caliber: .32 Rimfire
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.
