CASED WESSON & LEAVITT MASS ARMS PERCUSSION BELT REVOLVER.

CASED WESSON & LEAVITT MASS ARMS PERCUSSION BELT REVOLVER. SN NSN. Cal. 31. Only about 1,000 of these revolvers were made in period 1850-51. Beautiful revolver with 6” rnd bbl, open bottom receiver, 6-shot cyl with etched decoration and very nicely engraved frame, lockplate & hammer. It has smooth 1-pc walnut grip with flared butt and brass backstrap. Accompanied by its orig blue velvet lined, mahogany case compartmented in bottom for revolver, a fine Mass Arms eagle flask, brass 2-cavity bullet mold without sprue cutter, “MASS ARMS CO” marked on bottom.

Pistol mechanically functions well with bright shiny bore. Case is sound with a couple of cracks in lid, with nicks & light scratches. Interior is still bright with soiling in bottom from the revolver. Flask is virtually new. Mold, which is “MASS ARMS” marked, is in unused condition with areas of staining. Brass mushroom-shaped loading tool, L-shaped screw driver and nipple wrench are very good overall. 4-48813 JS59 (8,000-12,000)
