Two Marston Engraved Pepperbox Pistols

A) Engraved W.W. Marston Double Action Pepperbox pistol

The six shot barrel cluster is marked on the ribs " WARRANTED CAST STEEL" and "NEW YORK". The bar hammer is marked "W.W.MARSTON" on top and "PATENTED 1849" on the left side and "NEW.YORK" on the right. The frame is engraved on both sides with floral scrolls and light engraving on the back strap and light engraving on the nipple shield. The grip screws have steel escutcheons.

ConditionVery good. The barrels and nipple shield have a plum brown patina showing high edge wear. The frame is slightly lighter in color and patina. The grips are very good. Mechanically good, the barrels are a little loose, but index properly.
