RARE Antique WILLIAM W. MARSTON Three Barrel .32 RF DERINGER Pocket Pistol
CIVIL WAR ERA Triple Barrel Superposed Pistol
Description: RARE Antique WILLIAM W. MARSTON Three Barrel .32 RF DERINGER Pocket Pistol CIVIL WAR ERA Triple Barrel Superposed Pistol Here we present an antique Wm. W. Marston Three-Barrel .32 Caliber Rimfire Deringer Pocket Pistol, made circa the mid-1860s in New York City, New York. Only 3,300 were made between 1864 and 1872, and with this (#2724) serial number, it was likely produced sometime after the close of the Civil War. Designed and patented by William Marston in 1857, this 3-shot pistol was one of only a few repeating cartridge pistols during this time. Smith & Wesson bought the Rollin White Patent rights in the same year, which gave them exclusivity over the completely bored through revolver cylinder needed to use metallic cartridges most effectively. The Sharps pepperbox was another unique design that was very successful during the period before S&W’s patent expired. Like Sharps, Marston utilized multiple barrels that were superposed to make a barrel cluster, as well as an oscillating firing pin to hit each cartridge in succession. The barrel cluster hinges down for loading and unloading, using a very simple fixed claw system for extraction. There was a chamber indicator on the right side of the gun that enabled the shooter to set the firing pin to the first barrel, and let the shooter know which barrel it was on if they fired it. The firing pin would simply travel to the next barrel. The overall condition is good. Modestly refinished. The action is strong and the firing pin moves from chamber to chamber. The bores are patinated with good rifling. The grips are worn but solid. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3 inches. Caliber: .32 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 $1800 #247584 Price: $1,800.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
