This lot features a unique Allen & Wheelock Worcester side hammer 22 revolver. Although the firm of Allen & Wheelock was only in business for eight years - from 1857 to 1864 - it produced a surprisingly large variety of firearms. This side hammer revolver was among one of the more striking designs. Due to the companies short life span and unique firearms they are highly collectible. Currently the piece shows wear correct for its estimated age, with minor surface pitting. The revolver does not appear to function, but looks to only be missing the spring for the hammer catch. The overall condition is good for its age. Serial Numbers: None. Antique firearm pre-1898 No FFL or transfer or NICS background required.
