Additional Information: The end of the barrel may be cut

SECONDARY SINGLE SHOT MARTIAL TYPE PISTOL BY C. ROBBINS. Cal. .52 caliber round smoothbore iron barrel 8 7/8 inches long and unmarked at breech. The English imported Lock is 3 ½ inches long and marked “C. ROBBINS” under the waterproof pan. The lock plate and cock are engraved and has a rollerized frizzen and is completely original. The iron furniture consists of a screw in place of a butt cap, trigger guard, friction held barrel band and a New England tear drop shaped side plate that retains the lock by a single screw. The wooden ramrod is old with a nice patina and has been in this pistol a long time. The stock appears to be Cherry and follows the martial lines of the period except for having a sharp turn of the butt. For a similar pistol, see Historic Pistols by Smith & Bitter on pages 314-315 where the maker, Charles Robbins is listed at Tioga, New York and Robbins is believed to have made a number of these pistols patterned largely after the J.J. Henry Boulton Model 1826 pistols. CONDITION: The metal work originally bright is excellent and now covered with a rich age patina. The stock likewise has never been cleaned and there is a 5/8 inch long stress crack at front of lock that does not weaken or detract from the overall condition. 4-46690 PAS13 (2,500-3,000)
