Frank Wesson Small Frame Superposed Pistol

Also known as the Watch Fob model, manufactured from 1868 to 1880, less than 3,000 produced. Superposed barrels with the pin screw in the center "barrel". Marked "FRANK WESSON WORCESTER, MASS. Pt. DEC.15/ 68" on the left side of each barrel. Blue barrels, brass frame and ring trigger with varnished rosewood grips.

ConditionVery good, with traces of the original blue finish, showing a mixed gray patina overall, along with some mild spotting and handling marks. Frame is fine, with a pleasing aged patina overall. Action is fair. Grips are excellent, with most of the original varnish, light scratches and minor pressure dents.
