Description

Here's a scarce Allen & Wheelock Sidehammer pocket revolver chambered in .32 rimfire. Allen & Wheelock produced about 1,000 of these distinctive little pistols between 1859 - 1862. The exclusion of the later production 1860 patent date on the frame distinguishes this particular pistol as a "first model" variant produced in 1859. These guns utilized "bored through" cylinders - a patent that was filed by Rollin White and held by Smith & Wesson. Because of this, Allen & Wheelock were only able to manufacture these side hammer for only three years, from 1859 to 1862, before Smith & Wesson filed a patent infringement suit; shutting down production.

This pistol is in great shape. It is all original and fully functional with a crisp action and a solid half and full cock. The cylinder locks up tight on full cock and spins freely on half cock for loading - just like its should.

Externally, this pistol features a pleasing grey-brown patina with no areas major areas of rust or pitting. The grips are intact and in good condition with no cracks or splits.

The bore and chambers are in good shape with strong rifling and no major rust or pitting.
