Description
This is a smaller than normally encountered size pepperbox pistol with FOUR chambers instead of the standard five or six. It is clearly marked on the bar hammer and functions properly but a portion of the left side of the bag shaped grip is missing–and has been for a very long time. This type of percussion revolver combined the revolver cylinder with the barrel thus eliminating the danger of a typical revolver for cross-chamber ignition. The weapons were not purchased by any state or federal agency, but many were carried by soldiers in the field as personal protection weapons.
