LOWELL ARMS Co Antique ROLLIN WHITE Pocket Revolver Made for SMITH & WESSON VERY RARE w/ SPRING-LOADED EJECTOR ROD, LOADING GATE
Description: LOWELL ARMS Co Antique ROLLIN WHITE Pocket Revolver Made for SMITH & WESSON VERY RARE w/ SPRING-LOADED EJECTOR ROD, LOADING GATE Here we present an antique Lowell Arms Company / Rollin White Pocket Revolver in .22 Rimfire, manufactured circa 1867-1868 by the Lowell Arms Company in Lowell, Massachusetts. This one is also British proofed. These are extremely scarce with a very limited number produced by White’s namesake company. This pistol was made just after the close of the American Civil War on behalf of Smith & Wesson, due to S&W’s inability to keep up with their orders. Rollin White was the owner of the “bored through cylinder” design that launched Smith & Wesson into greatness and had all the other revolver designers struggling to compete until the patent expired in 1869. Of the gun manufacturers that have fallen by the wayside that collectors inevitably stumble across, one of the ones with the least information out there is the Rollin White Arms Company and the Lowell Arms Company. Norm Flayderman wrote that “the Rollin White Arms Company was formed by Rollin White in 1861 to manufacture revolvers to meet the demand which Smith & Wesson could not fill during the Civil War. Their entire production was marketed by Smith & Wesson through their normal dealers. The firm name was changed to Lowell Arms Company in 1864 (Rollin White’s association with it was terminated) following a change in management.” The overall condition is very good. Some traces of original blue and silver plate remain with a patina and some storage wear throughout. The action is excellent with solid lockup and indexing of the cylinder. The bore is clean and reflective with sharp rifling. The grips are solid and show wear. The ejector rod is also functional and springy. Birmingham British proofs on barrel and cylinder. This is a very rare little revolver with even rarer features! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/8 inches. Caliber: .22 Rimfire (short, black powder) 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 $1800 #227994 SOLD Antique: Yes |
