Cased Engraved English Tranter Patent Double Action Percussion Revolver with Initialed Plaque

Left side of the frame and loading lever are marked "W. TRANTER'S PATENT". Light floral scroll engraving on the frame, barrel breech, buttcap, and trigger guard, with a band of engraving at the muzzle. The cylinder has British proofs stamped at the rear between the chambers. The right side of the frame has a safety that when deployed stops the cylinder from rotating when the trigger is pulled. Fitted with a checkered one-piece grip with a silver initial plaque on the left side with initials "AHS". Complete with a partitioned wooden case lined with green felt. The following accessories are included: Joyce percussion cap tin, oiler, ramrod, Dixon & Sons powder flask, nipple wrench, and two cavity bullet mold.

ConditionVery fine. The barrel, frame and trigger guard retain 85% original high polished blue finish with the balance a smooth silver-gray patina. The loading lever, buttcap and cylinder have a smooth gray patina with flashes of original case colors remaining. The grip is excellent with a few minor handling marks. Overall the checkering is crisp. Mechanically excellent. The relined case is good with some minor dings and scratches, along with a crack on a lid short end. The lining shows some minor wear and a hinge is losing a screw.
