SCARCE Antique ENGRAVED T.K. BAKER Transitional .44 PERCUSSION Revolver
Unique Early Single Barrel English Revolver!
Description: SCARCE Antique ENGRAVED T.K. BAKER Transitional .44 PERCUSSION Revolver Unique Early Single Barrel English Revolver! Here we present a scarce antique T.K. Baker Transitional Percussion Revolver made circa the mid-1850s in London, England. This revolver was patented by Thomas Kerslake Baker of London. He was awarded British Registered Design No. 3230 on April 24, 1852, for his long spur hammer. This Baker revolver is a double action “transitional” type revolver, transitioning from a Pepperbox to a Revolver, with a six-shot cylinder. The hammer has a long cocking lever which is notched to facilitate use of the sights and a loading lever—something that was fast becoming a staple in American revolvers like Samuel Colt’s. It has a sliding safety located on the left side of the revolver frame. The back strap has the serial number (“No. 1650.”). The nipple shield has a fine knurled forward edge. It is fitted with two-piece fine walnut grips. Baker revolvers can be identified by markings on the body and the barrel, as well as the hammer. Typically, percussion revolvers of this type that utilize a cocking lever on the hammer will have markings reading “BAKER’S PATENT, REGISTERED APRIL 24 1852” under the hammer. The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with strong deep rifling. Grips are solid. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 5-1/4 inches. Caliber: .44 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 $3400 #240155 Price: $3,400.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
