1880s Antique MERWIN & HULBERT Double Action 7-SHOT .32 S&W REVOLVER With FOLDING HAMMER Spur and LANYARD RING!
Description: 1880s Antique MERWIN & HULBERT Double Action 7-SHOT .32 S&W REVOLVER With FOLDING HAMMER Spur and LANYARD RING! Here we present an antique Medium Frame Merwin & Hulbert Double Action Revolver in .32 S&W, made circa the 1880s by Hopkins & Allen in Norwich, Connecticut. Only a few thousand of these revolvers were produced. These revolvers are considered today to be some of the best made of the late 19th Century and the Wild West, even better in some minds than similar Colts and Smith & Wessons. These pistols certainly tended to have different, very well-thought features than their competition, and they were extremely well-made. One such feature was the method of ejection. Loading was achieved by placing the hammer at half-cock and sliding down the loading gate to single feed cartridges. If one wanted to unload the gun, they could simply push the latch back on the bottom of the gun, twist the barrel and cylinder assembly and pull forward. Only the empty brass would come out as the space created was shorter than a loaded cartridge, enabling the shooter to top off his gun and keep rounds available. An ingenious method was designed to achieve this that included a machined cut on the cylinder axis pin and a ledge on the breech face that kept the cartridge rims underneath. This system was also advantageous for forcefully removing stuck cartridges, providing lots of mechanical advantage. The overall condition is near fine. Bright nickel finish. Muted case colors on the hammer. The action functions, but the trigger return spring is weak thus needing assistance to reset. The bore is in good condition. Here is a handsome example of one of the best but least recognized revolvers of the period! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/2 inches. Caliber: .32 S&W 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 $1400 #20214 SOLD Antique: Yes |
