Allen & Thurber 6 Shot 32 Calbier Pepperbox 1837 Date

Good plus mechanical function.

Description

 

This is a Late Norwich standard 6 shot pepperbox with 4 ¾” barrels and 1837 Worcester Patent date. The mechanical function is good plus and all of the nipples are in place. It still retains 40% barrel blue but also has some pitting over one barrel. The wood grips are not chipped or cracked. This was a Gold Rush era pepperbox. This is a nice example with a longer barrel than most.
