This c. 1840 German silver frame six-shot pepperbox is signed "WILKINSON & SON/PALL MALL/LONDON" on the left and "IMPROVED/REVOLVING PISTOL" on the right and has very fine scroll and border engraving that extends to the bar hammer and other mounts. The casehardened barrel cluster has Birmingham proof marks and the barrels numbered 1 through 6. The frame has a sliding hammer stall/safety. The figured walnut grips have a high polish varnish finish. The gun comes in an attractive mahogany case with a folding handle on the lid, James Wilkinson & Son trade label inside the lid, green baize lining, tow, cap tin, three-way combination flask, ball mold, balls, and a loading rod with powder measure.

Exceptionally fine with bright German silver frame, 70% original case colors, 60% plus original blue finish, crisp markings and engraving, slight spots of oxidation, and minor wear. The grips are very fine with light warping visible on the top left panel, and minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case and accessories are fine with mostly only minor age and storage related wear. Overall, this is a very lovely cased set and an exceptionally high condition and deluxe example of the classic English pepperbox revolver.
