Description:

One of about 225 manufactured with a 6 inch barrel. Factory engraved frame. Inscribed "S. Gunn Jr." on butt. Marked "NEW HAVEN CONN/PATENT FEB. 14. 1854" (faint). 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.

Rating Definition:

Fair with the barrel having bright appearance and pitting, frame retaining silver plating in the protected areas, and undersized refinished grips with chips and crack on the butt. Hammer spring is weak although action cycles. Barrel extension is loose.
