A blued Pietta M1858 Remington replica .44 blackpowder revolver with 8″ octagonal barrel and traditional front sight. This revolver is in excellent to like-new condition, with no signs of ever having been fired and NO cylinder turn line. This is the variant with a sturdy steel frame, and equipped with a contrasting brass triggerguard. The latter is fading to pleasant mustard color with some dark verdegris discoloration on one side (see photos.).Ser. # R33835X. Has 99% blue finish and shows only very light handling. Very good bore. Date code BU (04). The white plastic grips show light handling with some small areas of discoloration. No box. Pietta M1858s can be very accurate! Conversion cylinders for .45 Colt are made by two different companies and are widely available.  (UBP-195)

An original Third Model .32 S&W Safety hammerless (“Lemon Squeezer”), made circa 1896. The action locks up fairly tight and functions and operates beautifully. Has 50% original factory blued finish.(See photos.) Serial number 8668X.Has original checkered black gutta-percha grips that show slight wear, and no fading, but the right grip panel has a typical non-threatening chip at the heel pin. The bore is shiny with nice rifling!  It appears that this revolver was carried a lot, but shot very little. This would make a great Federally exempt concealed carry pistol.  (UGPM-811)

Model 1-1/2 H&R .38 Rimfire SA revolver. Made circa 1878. Ser. # 465X. It is in spectacular museum-quality condition with 99.9% nickel, with just a light cylinder turn line. Appears new and unfired! The grips are in excellent condition with sharp checkering, two very small scratches, and some age-fading to brown. To the best of my knowldege, this revolver has not been refinished. (The factory markings all look crisp.) It looks like it just popped out of a time machine. I have never seen any revolver of this age (143 years old) still looking so close to “factory new.”  This could be the centerpiece for any advanced 19th Century pocket pistol collection. (UFBR-813)

A classic Merwin, Hulbert DA revolver chambered in .38 S&W. This is a 5-shot double-action revolver with fluted cylinder, and round barrel. It has an unusual 5.5” barrel and even more unusual lanyard ring and skull-crusher pommel. It retains about 95% original nickel finish with just a few small scratches and spots where the nickel was rubbed off or flaked off. (See photos.) The patent date markings are crisp, so this does not appear to be have been re-nickeled! In very nice mechanical condition, with a very nice tight lockup and very good cylinder suction–making the cylinder feel “spring-loaded.” Indexes perfectly in both single-action and double-action modes  The loading gate and distinctive twist frame function perfectly. It has original factory black gutta percha grips that are in very good condition.  The brass front sight has no nickel–most likely from when the front sight was filed for zeroing.  The barrel has typical Merwin Hulbert markings, with the latest patent date in 1882. The cylinder and barrel have matching serial numbers. This revolver’s fairly low serial # (1996X) would indicate production before 1890.  (AGNS-822)

A Smith & Wesson First Model of 1891 single-shot .22 rimfire pistol with British proof marks!. This is one of just 862 that were manufactured between 1893 and 1905 — making it truly very rare.  (Serial #: 1556X, so this was manufactured circa 1895.) Some of the parts for these pistols interchange with S&W double-action top-break revolvers. It is estimated that less than 50 of the 8″ barrel length pre-1899 examples have survived, worldwide, and of those, perhaps only a handful have British proofmarks. Condition is Antique Excellent, with a remarkable amount of original factory nickel finish, with flaking losses mainly on the barrel from holster wear. (See photos.) Has scarce original  S&W gutta percha two-screw target grips that are in remarkably good condition for their age. Original factory target sights.  Included is a very quaint period leather locking flap holster with the tooled initials “M.L.P.” on the flap. I’ve never seen one of these in such great condition! (ECLE -221)

A Smith & Wesson .32 S&W Safety Hammerless (“lemon Squeezer’) First Model -Engraved, with period ivory grips.  This is a dandy little .32 in its original un-numbered factory burgundy box that is in nice condition!

The ivory grips are in excellent condition, showing just minor age discoloration.  This revolver has 50% original nickel finish with a nice even pattern of thinning, mainly on the barrel. The period engraving is floral pattern on the barrel, top strap, frame, and even the cylinder. Excellent mechanical condition. Bore is quite nice, mostly shiny, with quite distinct rifling.  All-in-all this is a dandy S&W that is both collectible and shootable.  (EMPK-408)

A very scarce factory-engraved Merwin, Hulbert Medium Frame Double Action Pocket Model. This is a 5-shot double action model with a 3-1/2 inch barrel, chambered in .38 S&W caliber and manufactured in the 1880s. As you can see from the photos, it has a nickel finish, folding hammer spur, and mother of pearl grips. The grips are in excellent condition with brilliant colors and no chips or cracks.  Has 50% original nickel finish, with the balance in a pleasant gray patina. The action works as-new in double and single action, and it has considerable “cylinder suction”! The factory engraving is of the “punch dot ” style popular from the 1870s to 1900, and features an owl engraved on the left side. The bore is bright and shiny with sharp rifling and scattered light freckling. According to the Art Phelps book on Merwin, Hulbert guns, less than 2% of their revolvers were factory engraved.  This revolver came from a small town in Pennsylvania. Note that the cartridges and pistol stand pictured are not included. (ARYG-362)
