Here is a very attractive original Civil War era .28 caliber pepperbox style revolver. This is the distinctive pattern made by the famous firm of Christian Sharps of Philadelphia and is maker marked on the side of the frame. These guns were designed using the 1859 patent of Christian Sharps. The left hand side of the frame has the 1859 patent date stamped into the brass. The metal of the gun still has the original silver wash on the brass. Rather than have the barrel rotate they have the striker on the inside of the frame that rotates when the hammer is pulled back. This striker is present and still rotates. It has serial numbers of 7,419 on the barrel cluster with another number on the bottom of the grip. The barrels slide forward to allow for loading the .28 caliber rimfire cartridges. This is the model 2 that has the barrel release on the front of the frame on the underside. The release is complete and accounted for. On the handle of the gun it has the walnut grips to the gun that are replacements in my opinion. They have a good look as you can see in the pictures. This is a nice displaying and cool Civil War era pepperbox revolver from the famous Sharps Company. Item #: C1964 Shipping Weight:
