Manufactured in 1863/64, the Slocum revolver was an attempt to evade Smith & Wesson's possession of Rollin White's patent on bored-through cylinders. The chambers are individual components that slide forward over the ejector rod for loading and unloading. This example has factory floral scroll engraving on the frame and matching assembly numbers on the grip frame, both grip panels, and ejector. The partitioned box has a picture label of gun on the interior of the lid and contains a cleaning rod. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection
