ALLEN & THURBER Antique Large Frame SIDEHAMMER Target “BUGGY RIFLE” Pistol
.40 Caliber Sidehammer “SUNDAY GO TO MEETING” Rifle
Description: ALLEN & THURBER Antique Large Frame SIDEHAMMER Target “BUGGY RIFLE” Pistol .40 Caliber Sidehammer “SUNDAY GO TO MEETING” Rifle Here we present an antique Allen & Thurber Large Frame Sidehammer Target “Buggy Rifle” Pistol, made circa the mid-1800s in Worcester, Massachusetts. Normally, “buggy rifles” were short muzzleloaders that would fit under a buggy seat. The origination of the term varies, but many claim that since you could not work or do business on the sabbath, the men would have shooting matches after the church services. Thus, a “buggy rifle” was kept under the buggy seat. It was also said that they couldn’t have horse races on Sundays, but occasionally two buggies would have “simultaneous runaways” as they were leaving church. This type of single shot percussion pistol would have also been used for self-defense against both man and beast and would have made a formidable weapon after that single shot was expended. The top of the barrel is marked “ALLEN & THURBER / WORCESTER / CAST-STEEL”. The overall condition is very good. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is in very good condition with sharp rifling. The left grip panel has a slight crack at the top, otherwise the grips are solid. The back strap is slotted for a shoulder stock (not included) and includes a loading rod. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 10-1/8 inches. Caliber: .36 Percussion 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 $1800 #244401 SOLD Antique: Yes |
