RARE E.A. PRESCOTT POCKET MODEL PERCUSSION REVOLVER

RARE E.A. PRESCOTT POCKET MODEL PERCUSSION REVOLVER SN 11. Cal. 31. Very rare American percussion revolver with only about 100 produced in period 1860-61. It has 4-1/4” oct bbl with half moon German silver front sight with rare bbl marking “E.A. PRESCOTT WORCESTER MASS / PAT’D. OCT. 2. 1860”. Apparently only a few of these had markings anywhere except serial number. It has an unfluted 6-shot cylinder with Remington-style star wheel on back. It has thin cylinder stop slots. It has a cast brass frame with spur trigger and knurled high spur hammer with a complicated U-shaped hammer spring. It apparently was silver plated originally, now with only traces of silver under grips. Serial number was observed on bottom of bbl and left side of butt strap under grip, on face of cylinder, on rammer lever, rammer & rammer lock. Grips are also numbered on inside. CONDITION: Very good. Bbl retains a dark patina with fine pitting on right side. Frame is a dark mustard patina and cylinder retains most of a restored blue finish with two areas of fine pitting. Right grip has a repair at top and is missing a sliver at heel with both grips retaining about 50% orig varnish. Hammer is not firm in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are fine, strong dark bore with moderate to heavy pitting. 4-32674 JR502 (1,500-2,500)
