Superb 19th Century British Percussion Revolver.

I defy anyone who could find a better little revolver than this one. It’s a 9mm percusdion in beautiful untouched condition. The frame and trigger guard is engraved with vine leaves and grapes, with light engraving to the top of the heptagonal barrel and butt disc. The frame was originally gilded, and only faint traces remain. It has a hardwood grip with fine silver picquet work. It has some nice features, a clip in / outside rammer and a reloading clip, on top of the hammer. On the cylinder each nipple is numbered, and each chamber is marked with the Birmingham proof mark of crossed sceptres with crown over and ‘V’ at bottom. This fine little revolver comes in perfect working condition, single action hammer is nice and tight and no rust.
If this is not impressive enough, it comes in its original oak case with pistol flask, ebony handled tools and ebony cap box. The key is missing but all contents are in excellent condition.
The revolver measures 7.5 inches long and the case is 9 x 5.5 inches.
