CONFEDERATE PALMETTO ARMORY PISTOL.

SN NSN. This is a nice orig Palmetto Armory Model 1842 single shot pistol of which only 1000 were made. Markings are crisp and sharp. Gun is 100% orig and authentic and still retains orig brown finish on bottom of bbl and under bbl band. Dr. Fred Novy who has done considerable research on Palmetto arms in the last decade has found one of the distinct characteristics of these particular martials is that the bbls were browned. This brown however is quite fragile and is only seen on a handful of examples internally on uncleaned examples which are very scarce. This is among the best examples of this gun I have seen with a very fine, well-fit stock with very good and complete markings as can be seen in photos. PROVENANCE: Collection of Charles A. Lamb. CONDITION: Bbl, lock and iron are gray/brown with scattered pitting. Lock markings of “Palm Tree” surrounded by “Palmetto Armory, S.C.” are well struck and easily read as are “Columbia, S.C. 1852″. Bbl markings of “V/P”, “Palm Tree”, “Wm. Glaze” and “1853″ on bbl tang are crisp and easily discerned. Brass has yellow patina with old cleaning or polish lacking proofs which is correct. The stock is sound and solid with good edges. There is a hairline crack between top escutcheon crew forward to bbl, about 1/2”. The loading assembly has been cleaned and is pitted and because of dissimilar patina is possibly replaced as it does not match the color of the rest of the gun. 4-50954 JS104 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 2277
