Antique Obsolete Calibre British Pepper Pot Pinfire Revolver

This is a British manufactured 6 shot Pepper Pot Pinfire revolver with folding trigger, circa mid 1800s. The cylinders are marked with the Birmingham proof house stamps of the period and the calibre measures around 7mm. These types of the small compact revolvers were often used as self defense guns by gentry and the upper classes when fending off a would be robber or pick-pocket.

This revolver is chambered in an obsolete calibre and can be owned live without any form of license. It has a full working action and can be cocked, stripped and dry fired. The spring that tensions the arm that cams the cylinders is missing. A replacement could be found or made. In its current state the revolver will dry fire and index perfectly providing it is tipped downwards. Gravity then enables the arm to reset after each cycle.

It is being sold as a collectors piece only.
