Factory Panel Scene Engraved Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Pocket Army Single Action Revolver

These classic revolvers were manufactured circa 1876 into the 1880s by the Hopkins & Allen Mfg. Co. This factory engraved revolver has the classic floral engraving associated with the factory along with a round reposed stag panel scene on the left side plate. It features a round barrel, fluted cylinder, and bird's head butt. The left side of the frame under the cylinder is marked "CALIBRE/WINCHESTER" followed by "1873," and the right side of the frame is marked "MERWIN, HULBERT & CO. N.Y./POCKET ARMY". The left side of the barrel has the two-line Hopkins & Allen address and patent date marking. The serial number is stamped on the right of the grip frame ahead of the lanyard hole. The left of the grip frame, rear face of the cylinder, back of the barrel lug, and the cylinder pin have the assembly number "7702". It is fitted with a pair of smooth period fitted replacement walnut grips.

ConditionVery fine with crisp engraving, 75% plus original nickel plating, some flaking on the cylinder, strong original niter blue finish on the hammer, flashes of original case colors on the hammer, smooth gray and brown patina on the balance, some spots of isolated pitting, and minor overall wear. The grips are also very fine and have minor handling and storage marks. Mechanically excellent. This is a very attractive example of Merwin, Hulbert & Co.'s classic "Pocket Army" revolver. Many of these revolvers were used out West making high condition factory engraved examples particularly desirable.
