One of the oddest of palm squeezes, the Little All Right was patented by Edward Boardman and Andrew Peavy in 1876. The top of the barrel features a slotted round tube holding a sliding trigger called a "pull". The revolver is held in the palm of the hand, the end of the barrel resting on the second finger, the forefinger being placed around the "pull" that, when pulled back, fires the revolver. The pull also acts as muzzle cover, since it folds down over the muzzle when the gun is not in action. The low serial number (167) is marked on the underside of the barrel. There are correctly no other makings on the metal surfaces. Fitted with two piece hard rubber grips marked "LITTLE/ALL/RIGHT/PATENTED/JAN'Y 18/1876" on the left and "ALL RIGHT FIREARMS/CO./MANUFACTURERS/LAWRENCE/MASS./U.S.A." on the right.
