2ND MODEL PORTER REVOLVING TURRET RIFLE.

SN 620. Cal. 50. 26″ oct bbl, marked “ADDRESS / P.W. PORTER / NEW – YORK” and “P.W. PORTER’S / PATENT. / 1851.” This is a relatively fine example of one of the most unusual of American made arms that has had a lot of interesting legends written about it. One colorful anecdote published which has proven to be untrue is that the inventor was killed while demonstrating this rifle to Col. Colt. In actuality, over 1000 of these most interesting and well made rifles were made in several configurations. This gun characterized as a 2nd Model and representing about 1/3 of the production has 9-shot cyl, mule ear hammer, Winchester style serpentine shaped cocking lever, with sights offset to the left. These guns rarely are offered in orig functioning condition such as this example. CONDITION: Very good overall. Markings are fine and well discerned. All major parts noted have matching SNs. Mechanics are functional with well discerned rifling in pitted bore. 53088-1 JS (5,500-7,500) – Lot 1380
