This lot features a excellent example Sprinfield Arms Co. Warner's Factory Engraved Pocket Model Cal. .28 Revolver. The revolver features factory engraving, brass front sight, walnut grip, and six shot cylinder. Only 500 of this rare American revolver were manufactured for one year in 1851! Beautiful hand engraved scroll on the frame with circular engraving patterns on the entire circumference of the unique deep groove cylinder. This revolver with 2 5/8” barrel is in remarkable condition inside and out. The metal surfaces have no indication of ever having been cleaned and show no signs of rust or abuse of any kind. Even the barrel and cylinder retain fine original blue finish, unusual and attractive center hammer design with bag-style walnut grips make this unusual and historical piece unique in it’s appearance and easily identifiable. Mechanically perfect with tight indexing of the cylinder and lockup. With only 500 manufactured 166 years ago, surviving examples are few. This would have to be one of the best extant. Antique firearm. NO FFL transfer or NICS background check required.
