The specialist needs more information

Dear Doug,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal.
So that I may best assist you, can you please state the measurements and upload detailed and focused images of all hallmarks, numbers, and stamps on the metal parts of the weapon?
Thank you for your help.

With kind regards,
George

Hello George,
Each main picture I sent has a ruler showing the size. What more do you need? For this gun it is 36cm/6.75 inches long. Height is about 9cm/ 3.5 inches without the firing “pin”? As far as “hallmarks, numbers, and stamps” I gave you everything I see/have. These guns are old. Please confirm this is what you need before I submit the other 4 gun info with your same “ask”. You can always call me EST – Doug: 404-307-8931
Thanks,
Doug

Hello,

My apologies again for the delay. This is an Allen and Thurber Pepperbox revolver from the mid 1800's. It is a muzzle-loading percussion cap gun made for the domestic civilian market in the United States. This piece has some significant corrosion around the flash-holes and in the bores. The rest of the metal surfaces exhibit a dark patina, with some pitting. The wooden grips are in good shape. Given the condition of this piece, and completed auctions of similar items, a fair market estimation is 500-550 dollars. Please reach out with any questions.

Thank you,
Bo Stuck
