William Billinghurst (1807-1880) of Rochester, New York, was one of the most famous firearms makers of his day and was particularly known for his revolving rifles based on the Miller patent. The barrel is turned down to round for a small section at the muzzle and has a small blade front sight and a notch rear sight and is signed "W. BILLINGHURST" on top at the breech. A partial "ON" marking is visible on the upper right flat at the breech, likely a cut-off "REMINGTON" marking. The seven-shot cylinder is finely serrated for easier grip. The back action lock and action have scroll and border engraving. The smooth walnut forearm has a pewter end cap and a single barrel wedge. The smooth walnut straight grip stock has a brass trigger guard, toe plate, and crescent buttplate. Includes a period wood case with a variety of tools and loading equipment. Ramrod absent.
