Cased Set of Two Whitney Percussion Revolvers with Accessories

A) Whitney Navy Model Percussion Revolver

This is an example of a Whitney Navy Model Revolver that falls into the Second Model, 2nd Type serial number range (1,200-13,000) with the cylinder scene of eagle, lion, naval engagement and shield. Matching numbers are on the rear cylinder face, cylinder pin, barrel and loading lever. The top barrel flat is stamped "E. WHITNEY/N. HAVEN". Fitted with smooth grips numbered to the gun. The partitioned case holds both Whitney percussion revolvers and a collection of accessories, which are the following: Eley percussion cap tin with caps, "ABB" marked two cavity bullet mold, package of 5 combustible envelope 31-100 inch caliber cartridges, two wooden cleaning rods, small double face clamshell powder flask, larger double side game bird/hunting dog scene powder flask, two combination tools, and case key.

ConditionFine. The revolver retains 40% bright original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The hammer and loading lever retain traces of original case colors otherwise faded to a gray. The trigger guard retains traces of original silver plating in the protected areas otherwise the brass has an attractive untouched aged appearance. The grips are very fine with most of the varnish remaining, a small nick near the bottom (left panel) and some minor handling marks. Mechanically fine. The relined case is good with high spot wear to the faded lining and minor handling/storage marks.
