This is a Jacob Repertus .22 Cal., eight shot pepperbox. It has a 3" barrel that tapers down, brass frame and walnut grips. It has a removable ejector rod, is single action and has address and patent (1864) on butt plate. The mechanism still works and this piece is in very nice condition, with only about 3,000 manufactured, according to Norm Flayderman’s Antique American Arms publication.
faceAs to whether it still fires, we are selling it "AS IS" and recommend that you have a reputable gunsmith determine the feasibility of operation and take no responsibility for any possible consequences.
