Product Description

ALLEN & THURBER Antique BAR HAMMER .31 Percussion DA Pistol GOLD RUSH Era 

American Double Action Single Shot Pistol

Here we present an antique Allen & Thurber Bar Hammer Double Action Single Shot pistol. This percussion pocket pistol was a popular pistol that was produced in Worcester, Massachusetts between the1830s and 1860s. Ethan Allen was already a prolific inventor and successful businessman in the 1830s when he came up with this design. It’s a .36 caliber pistol with a revolving screw off fluted barrel and has factory engravings in a floral motif executed on both sides of the frame. Made from 1830-1865, Allen & Thurber’s pistols, including their pepperbox, enjoyed even greater popularity than Sam Colt’s first pistol. The history that these pistols enjoyed over the years is astounding: the Seminole Wars, Gold Rush, Mexican War and American Civil War. These guns are true relics of American history.

“ALLENS PATENT” is on the left side of the bar hammer. The number “615” is stamped on the bottom of the barrel.

The overall condition is very good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Nicely engraved frame. Solid grips. Markings are legible.  Here is a small, but impactful, collection piece!
