RARE Antique “DICTATOR” Revolver by HOPKINS & ALLEN .38 RIMFIRE
With GREAT CYLINDER SCENES: Eagle, Bear, Brave, Dog, Panoply
Description: RARE Antique “DICTATOR” Revolver by HOPKINS & ALLEN .38 RIMFIRE With GREAT CYLINDER SCENES: Eagle, Bear, Brave, Dog, Panoply Here we present an antique Hopkins & Allen “DICTATOR” .38 Rimfire Revolver, made circa 1869-72 with only 5,100 of these manufactured. These rare little revolvers were made by Hopkins and Allen after they took over the Bacon firm in 1867. They were all marked “Dictator”, though the Hopkins & Allen markings were not on all revolvers. This example does not have the H & A markings. This example would have started out life as a .36 caliber percussion revolver and then converted to .38 caliber rimfire cartridge shortly thereafter. This was actually a successor to Thomas Bacon’s Pocket Revolver, having a few changes, but mainly rebranded as the “DICTATOR” after Bacon’s operation was acquired by Hopkins & Allen. The cylinder features 5 distinct scenes in scrolled ovals including: a federal eagle with a clutch of arrows, an axe leaning against a barrel, a Native American brave, a dog, and a bear. Like other revolvers of this size, it was meant to serve as a concealable self-defense revolver. The overall condition is near fine. Original finish and patina. Clear cylinder scene panels. The action is excellent and crisp. The bore is in fine condition, shiny bright with sharp rifling. Grips are solid. Numbers match throughout. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4 inches. Caliber: .38 Rimfire 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 $2400 #233625 Price: $2,400.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
