Product Description
Antique COOPER FIREARMS Co. .31 Caliber DOUBLE ACTION Percussion POCKET Revolver
CIVIL WAR ERA Early Double Action Percussion Revolver
Here we present an antique J.M. Cooper Firearms Company Double Action Pocket Revolver, made circa 1864-69 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During a time of rapid innovation in firearms technology and an insatiable market due to rapid expansion and the American Civil War, dozens of makers seized their opportunity to put their ideas on the market. The J.M. Cooper Double Action Revolver took the concept of the Colt 1849 Pocket Model and improved it by giving it a double action firing mechanism. Only about 15,000 of these Pocket Models were made during the 1860s, making these quite scarce. Though there are no known military contracts, they made their way onto Civil War battlefields when soldiers purchased them privately for that purpose.
This example has been there and done that. Original patina. Bright bore, dimming towards the muzzle. Good grip. Legible markings. Numbers match. The wedge is not numbered. The action functions, although the cylinder does not index and freewheels. A screw is missing from the backstrap.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
