Scarce Hopkins & Allen Dictator Single Action Percussion Pocket Revolver

This scarce revolver was manufactured by Hopkins & Allen around the end of the Civil War. The top barrel flat is marked "HOPKINS & ALLEN MFG. Co. NORWICH CT." The 5-shot cylinder has five sporting vignettes; three with a hunter, one with a male elk, and one with a reposed female elk. Matching serial number on the underside of the barrel, the loading lever, the loading lever catch, and on the frame under the left grip panel. It was finished blue with a casehardened loading lever and fitted with smooth varnished walnut grips.

ConditionFine. The pistol retains 80% of the bright original blue finish on the barrel, 40% on the cylinder, and traces on the frame and other components with an aged brown/gray patina on the exposed surfaces and some minor scratches and marks overall. The grips are fine with a chip on the front lower corner of the left grip panel and some minor marks. Mechanically fine.
