Scarce Engraved Mariette Brevete Underhammer Percussion Pepperbox Revolver with Unique Spike Bayonet and Holster

The trefoil bayonet has a 5 3/8 inch blade and is built as part of the arbor pin. The leather wrapped iron holster is specially designed with a cylindrical section at the top for the pepperbox and then a conical section at the bottom for the bayonet. The Damascus steel barrels and bolsters are numbered 1-6, and a Liege proof is between two of the nipples. The frame and trigger engraved with complex scroll patterns, and the front strap has "436" and "MARIETTE/BREVETE." The grips are fluted, and the right panel has "73" at the junction with the back of the frame.

ConditionVery good with traces of original blue finish on the barrels and otherwise generally light gray patina overall along with some minor oxidation, crisp engraving and markings, and general mild wear. The grips are also very good and have attractive dark finish, mild scratches and dings, and slight chips at the edges. Mechanically fine. The holster is good and has a small amount of leather remaining and otherwise dark patina. A unique example of firearms curiosa!
