OE - GOOD - some minor replacement parts; metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned; principal lettering, numerals and design on metal legible; lightly scratched, bruised or minor cracks repaired; in good working order.

Marked "NEW HAVEN CONN. PATENT FEB. 14. 1854" on the top barrel flat; the omission of the "VOLCANIC" markings indicates that the pistol was manufactured after Oliver Winchester assumed control of the Volcanic Repeating Arms Co. and reorganized it as the New Haven Arms Co. in April 1857. It has a brass frame, blued barrel and magazine tube, and smooth walnut grips. The New Haven Arms Co. manufactured approximately 3,200 Volcanic pistols and carbines of which less than a thousand were the short barreled "Pocket" pistols produced between 1857 and 1862.
