Product Description
ANTEBELLUM Engraved MASSACHUSETTS ARMS Co. WESSON & LEAVITT Belt Revolver
SCARCE; 1 of Only 1,000 Manufactured
Here we present an antique Massachusetts Arms Co. Wesson & Leavitt Percussion Belt Revolver, manufactured circa 1850-51 in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. Only around 1,000 of the Wesson & Leavitt Belt Model revolvers were manufactured by the Massachusetts Arms Co. in 1850 and 1851 before legal action by Samuel Colt halted production. This is a scaled down version of a Massachusetts Arms Dragoon Model revolver which is also referred to as the Pocket. Although much better known for their later production Adams Patent revolvers and various military carbines like the Greene, Maynard, Smith and Warner, their early production pistols are by far some of the most interesting guns that they produced.
The overall condition is good. The action functions, although the cylinder intermittently indexes. Good bore for its age. The grips are in good shape. Traditional floral engravings span the frame. Legible markings.
