Description:
Engraved CIVIL WAR Era Antique BACON 2nd MODEL Percussion Pocket Revolver
SCARCE, 1 of around 3,000 MANUFACTURED
Here we present an antique Engraved Bacon Manufacturing Company Second Model Pocket Revolver, made circa the late 1850s to early 1860s in Norwich, Connecticut with a production run between 1858 and 1867. Thomas K. Bacon had been a gunsmith working for the Manhattan Firearms Manufacturing Company when they moved their operation away from Norwich. Bacon left the company to stay behind and work on his own firearms manufacturing company. Part of Bacon’s contract with Manhattan included a “no-compete” clause that he would have been in violation of if the heads of Manhattan had bothered to sign the agreement. Nevertheless, they still took him to court with no official judgement recorded.
Bacon’s arms were popular on the commercial market and many made their way onto Civil War battlefields upon being privately purchased by soldiers. Here is a nicely engraved Thomas Bacon revolver to add to your Civil War collection!
The overall condition is good. Light gray patina throughout. The action is strong, but the cylinder timing is a little late. Good bore for its age, as some rifling is visible. Both grips are firmly seated and have experienced average wear. Lightly factory engraved frame.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 6 inches.
Caliber: .31 Percussion
Overall condition as seen in photos.
