A Rare Cased Morton Pinfire Revolver This Irish
<B>A Rare Cased Morton Pinfire Revolver</B></I> This Irish made Morton revolver is housed in a beautiful mahogany case which includes the cleaning rod and tools in the blue felt-lined compartments. The pinfire revolvers originated in France and incorporated a design where the hammer strikes the cartridge at a right angle causing a charge to detonate and fire the round. W. Morton and Son were makers of fine firearms and were located at 2 Ellen Street in Limerick, Ireland. This double-action six-shot revolver retains 80% of its bluing and has a nickel hammer and trigger which folds up toward the barrel. The front sight is missing, however, this revolver is an attractive display piece.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
