Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/3 scale underhammer percussion single shot pistol by an unknown maker. 3 5/16″ long overall with a 1 11/16″ part round part octagon blued steel barrel of .134 caliber. The barrel with a nice ring transition between the round and octagon parts, and a swelled cannon muzzle. The underside of the barrel is marked “JK”. Blued steel hammer and trigger. Yellow brass topstrap and gripstrap. Yellow brass blade type front sight, and yellow brass rear “peep” sight. There is an engraved stylized eagle on the top strap. One piece light colored what I think is a walnut grip, but may be stained hardwood. Cased in a walnut hinged top casing, the latch parts missing, and a small crack on the lower back. The case interior French fit and lined in a gold felt. Also included is a brass cleaning rod with a serrated handle. There is a square recess in the case, which I think was for a cap container, which is now missing. Fully functional. The bore is drilled through to the nipple, and the hammer has a good crisp action. The steel parts show about 65% original blue, the rest blending to a pleasing gray patina. The brass has a nice uncleaned aged patina. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
