UNMARKED UNKNOWN MAKER LARGE FRAME PERCUSSION REVOLVER

UNMARKED UNKNOWN MAKER LARGE FRAME PERCUSSION REVOLVER SN 4340. Cal. About 45. Nickel finish with 7-1/2” oct bbl with dovetail target style front sight and a small fixed rear sight screwed to top strap. It has a Whitney-style 3-pc rammer with Whitney-style latch and a Whitney-style hammer locking screw. It has an iron frame with 1-pc grip frame with integral trigger guard and a most unusual coil hammer spring. It has a thick, flat-sided hammer with hand knurled short spur and it has 2-pc walnut grips. The heavy 6-shot cylinder has very long flutes with deep flared nipple recesses and Remington-style star wheel at rear end. Serial number appears on left side of frame, bottom of bbl & butt strap and the rammer handle & locking pin. Curiously it has “B” inspector initials on left side of frame, back of recoil shield and again on both sides of bbl lug and both sides of bbl. Cylinder also has the “B” marking. Bore has 5-groove rifling with right hand twist. Right side of bbl lug is stamped through nickel finish “45 / 35 / 210”. This is possibly the bullet size, powder charge & bullet weight. This is a most unusual & well made revolver that certainly had strong possibilities. CONDITION: Fine. Overall retains about 70% strong orig nickel turned milky with exposed metal a dark patina. Grips retain orig finish around top edges with minor nicks & scratches and have a hand worn patina. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are crisp with a very bright shiny bore. 4-32677 JR500 (1,500-2,500)
