Catalog Page: 12
Class: Antique
Description:

No makers markings. The pepperbox is very similar to the Blunt & Syms small frame, but with a square butt, not the bag shaped grips. The 6 barrel cluster gauges at 30 caliber, has concave ribs and light floral scroll engraving on the breech ends. The frame and back strap are also floral scroll engraved with a sun burst on top at the breech. Underhammer ring trigger, all blue finish and fitted with smooth two piece varnished walnut grips.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The pistol retains 75% original blue finish on the barrels and 30% on the frame, mainly on the grip straps. The balance shows a smooth gray and brown patina. The action needs work, it does not function. The grips are excellent with almost all of the original varnish remaining, showing a few minor chips in the varnish and dings. The engraving is crisp.
