RARE FIRST MODEL Engraved Antebellum Revolver

Here we present an engraved antique First Model Josiah Ells Patent Bar Hammer Percussion Revolver, made in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania circa 1857-59 with a total production run of only 625 revolvers. This percussion Bar Hammer revolver marked Josiah Ells entry into the pistol-making business in early 1857. The First Model revolvers all featured an “open top” frame. The cylinders were offered in 5 or 6 shots. The marking on the left side of the bar hammer reads “ELLS PATENT” with “AUG. 1 1854” on the right. These little revolvers are extremely rare with so few being made.
