VERY RARE E H COLLIER REVOLVING PISTOL CARBINE.

26″, 36″ overall 50 caliber smooth bore barrel. Marked on lock “E.H. COLLIER PATENT NO. 6”. Gun is missing hammer. Elisha Collier was from Boston, Massachusetts, but had his guns made in England in the 1820’s. No more than a total of 150 were thought to be made. This gun has rare 7-shot cylinder. Collier may lay claim to being the first revolving rifle produced that was sold substantial quantities. Collier’s were originally made in flint, but conversions to percussion are known. Complete Collier revolving arms are quite rare and desirable and some fine examples have brought $20,000-$50,000 in recent years. This is not the best example, but it is fairly complete and a good gunsmith could turn it into something quite interesting if desired and you won’t find another at this estimate. CONDITION: Good overall. Stock is solid with much wear to checkering. Metal overall is brown with staining and pitting. Lock markings are discernible. Small silver thumbplate is intact. Detachable stock is missing. 52222-13 (800-1,200) – Lot 2044

Auction: Fine Art, Asian & Antiques Auction - August 2017
