Installed with a viewable area 2 5/8 inches tall and 2 inches wide, this Sixth Plate ambrotype features a seated gentleman in coat and top hat, holding a four-shot Sharps Pepperbox pistol in his left hand, with his arm rested on a small table and a plain background. The exact model of the Sharps Pepperbox pistol is unknown. The picture is set into a glass-topped brass frame with floral designs, with a red velvet pad inside the lid and a 3 3/8 inch wide by 3 3/4 inch tall Gutta Percha case with raised floral motifs and a fountain design in the center of the lid.

Very fine. Some fading/flaking of the image is visible around the edges, particularly along the top and right. The case shows minor cracks and chips. A great accessory for your Sharps Pepperbox/Derringer collection!
