Antique MERWIN & BRAY Front Loading PLANT Revolver
Description: Antique MERWIN & BRAY Front Loading PLANT Revolver Made Circa 1865 With ANTIQUE IVORY Grips! Here we present an antique Merwin & Bray Front Loading Plant Manufacturing Company Pocket Model Revolver, made circa 1865 in New York. Makers of revolvers during the American Civil War had three choices: 1) they could take their chances violating the Smith & Wesson owned Rollin White Patent for the concept of a “bored through cylinder” to accept metallic cartridges, 2) they could continue to make percussion guns with all of their disadvantages, or 3) they could invent their own concept that was both an improvement over percussion guns and circumvented the Rollin White Patent. The latter option is what Plant’s chose. Plant’s Mfg. Co. was financed and represented by the famed firearms agents Merwin & Bray, hence their name on the top of the barrel. Their revolver featured a “cup-primed” and front-loading concept, which was among the best attempts to get around S&W’s 12-1/2 year stronghold on cartridge revolvers. They found relative success with the public rather than with the military. This little revolver is equipped with a push-forward ejector rod on the right side of the frame. The brass frame is finished in silver while the barrel is blued. The grips are antique ivory to make a sharp little package. The overall condition of this revolver is fine. 90% of the original blue finish remains. 92% of the silver finish is present. The markings are clear. The antique ivory grips are in great shape. The bore is semi-bright with strong rifling. The action is excellent, strong and crisp. These are very scarce and this one would be a specimen difficult to improve upon. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-3/8 inches. Caliber: .30 Cup-Fire 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 $900 #190483 SOLD Antique: Yes |
