Rare c1880 Antique WILLIAM TRANTER PATENT Single Shot .22 RF “SALON” Pistol W. GRIFFITHS British Retailer Marked
Description: Rare c1880 Antique WILLIAM TRANTER PATENT Single Shot .22 RF “SALON” Pistol W. GRIFFITHS British Retailer Marked Here we present an antique William Tranter Patent Pistol, made circa 1880 in London, England. William Tranter (1816-1890) was a British gunmaker and gun designer famous for inventing the Tranter revolver. Tranter is best known in American firearms collecting for the revolvers that were imported by the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Salon pistols came into fashion in the mid-19th century, where they typically featured heavy barrels and were chambered in a small caliber. They were used for target shooting in homes with a dedicated parlor or gallery for this purpose. Other guns of this type include “Gallery Guns”, “Flobert Guns”, “Saloon Guns”, and “Parlor Guns”, all designed for recreational indoor target shooting. These guns were developed in 1845, when French inventor Louis-Nicolas Flobert created the first rimfire metallic cartridge by modifying a percussion cap to hold a small lead bullet. These games were popular in saloons, at carnivals, and as mentioned above, in people’s homes during this period. This example has the barrel inscribed with the retailer’s name "W. GRIFFITHS, MANCHESTER" atop the barrel. The overall condition is good. Robust action. The bore is shiny bright with strong rifling. The grip is seated firmly with nice checkering. Markings are sharp. Here is a very nice Tranter example to display and collect! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 6 inches. Caliber: .22 Rimfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1200 #247859 Price: $1,200.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
