8-SHOT Antique BELGIAN Mariette PEPPERBOX Revolver Fantastic Ring Trigger Underhammer Revolver!
Description: 8-SHOT Antique BELGIAN Mariette PEPPERBOX Revolver Fantastic Ring Trigger Underhammer Revolver! Here we present an antique Belgian Mariette Brevette Ring Trigger/Under Hammer Percussion Pepperbox. These are quite scarce. This firearm was made circa the 1850s in Liege, Belgium, known for centuries now as one of the foremost firearms capitals of the world. It was expressly made for self-defense, giving the shooter 8 shots of .31 caliber ball without having to cock a hammer. This piece is double action, with a cluster of 8 barrels that revolves with each pull of the trigger. This is a percussion piece, and each of the 8 barrels can be independently unscrewed for loading. In fact, each of the barrels is numbered and corresponds to the same number on the firearm, so that the user could not lose track of which barrel goes to its particular portion of the breech. The loading of the gun from the breech, rather than from the muzzle, was beneficial to loading a larger ball—yielding a better gas seal—as opposed to trying to load from the muzzle. The barrels and breeches are numbered 1-8 in sequence. The breech of the barrel cluster is Liege proofed. The overall condition is very good. The barrels retain their Damascened twist pattern. Iron parts gray with age throughout. The markings are clear. The grips appear to be from another pistol and are in fair shape. The bores are smooth and dark. The action remains strong. Imagine what carrying this in a holster might have looked! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3 inches. Caliber: .31 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 $2100 #190336 SOLD Antique: Yes |
