EXTREMELY RARE ALEXANDER HALL REVOLVING RIFLE.

EXTREMELY RARE ALEXANDER HALL REVOLVING RIFLE. Cal. About 45. Unusual and rare 15-shot revolving rifle with 28-1/4” stepped oct to rnd bbl with slight cannon muzzle and a brass half moon front sight. The unusual receiver is about 10” long, flat sided with a hinged floor to permit installing & removing the cylinder. It has a very long sheet metal trigger guard with a large tapered screw inside the front, which is the cocking lever and a straight flat sided trigger at the rear. It has a simple sheet metal rear sight mounted over the cylinder area on top of the frame with a pin from the sight and through a hole in the frame which serves as a cylinder stop. The cylinder is 3-1/2” diameter X 2-13/16” long. It has a 1-15/16” hole through the center, which pivots around the hinged receiver floor plate. The cylinder is apparently advanced by hand as there is no apparent means of mechanical advancement. The receiver has long top & bottom tangs attached to a straight stock with crescent brass buttplate. The stock appears to be a modern replacement. Overall this appears to be a crude prototype, no markings remain, if there were ever any present. Accompanied by a very old homemade wooden case. CONDITION: Poor to fair. Bbl and all the iron parts have been cleaned to bright along time ago and are now beginning to patinate. Bbl still has rough machine marks and fine pitting. Receiver is pitted and stained with some heavy pitting along both sides. Stock appears to have been aged with a torch. Cylinder is mostly a gray/brown patina with light pitting. Bore is crusty and dark. Case has no finish, is soiled and stained. Crude leather latch & handle are crackled but still supple. 4-50690 JR1055 (10,000-15,000)
