BIG BORE "BRITISH BULL-DOG" REVOLVER, C.1880s
Description: BIG BORE "BRITISH BULL-DOG" REVOLVER, C.1880s. It's a little known fact that these little double action revolvers were extremely popular both east and west of the Mississippi during the last decades of the 20th century. They were much less expensive than the Colts and S&Ws we like to think everyone could afford. They were also reliable, fast shooting double action snubbies that offered a lot of protection in a small package. Historical note: President Garfield was shot with a Bull-Dog revolver. The larger caliber examples are more scarce and desirable with this one being being .45 caliber that took a short .45 cartridge. There is a load of good info on these in George Layman's book on the Bull-Dog revolvers. This one is nickel plated with 2 1/2" round flat-top barrel. It has the usual Belgian proof marks on the frame and rear face of the cylinder. It retains most of the nickel with wear only to portions of the grip straps and light edge wear. It has excellent checkered birds-head walnut grips. The top strap is marked "BRITISH BULL-DOG" and functions fine in single action and double action. A really sharp condition big bore revolver in far better condition than usually seen. Excellent rifled barrel. SOLD Antique: Yes |
