RARE WALCH NAVY 12-SHOT REVOLVER.

RARE WALCH NAVY 12-SHOT REVOLVER. SN 55. Cal. 36. Blue finish with 6″ oct bbl with the 2-line address on the top flat, the patent date on left flat and the serial number on the right flat. It has pin front sight with 2-pc rammer and Colt Navy style latch. This unusual revolver is single action with two hammers & two triggers and split hammer spring. Cylinder is indexed to six positions with each chamber having a superimposed load with an outer ring of six nipples and an inner ring of six nipples on the rear face. The hammers are cocked simultaneously with the right trigger being set slightly ahead of the left so that it is pulled first which releases the right hand hammer which fires the forward load. Continued pressure on the triggers then releases the left hammer which strikes the inner nipple and fires the second load. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms only about 200 of these revolvers were made in the period 1859 to the early 1860’s. There is a crack in the sideplate at the lower rear corner in the cylinder opening. CONDITION: Poor, all visible numbers are matching. Overall retains about 50% dark blue with scattered moderate to severe pitting. Front sideplate screw is battered and the right hammer spring is broken, the broken piece accompanies. Mechanics are functional although a little loose and the grips are modern replacements. Bore is strong and bright with several spots of deep pitting. 4-31640 JR219 (3,000-5,000)
