Rare Whitney Arms firearm patented by Eli Whitney Oct. 23, 1866 and produced 1870-1874 with an estimated 2500 manufactured in any gauge. This is a 12 gauge Serial #431, 32" barrel muzzle-load percussion black-powder shotgun produced under the 1866 patent until the percussion barrels were used up. Marked lightly "Whitney Arms Co., Whitneyville, Conn. Homogeneous Wrought Steel, E. Whitney's Patent Oct. 23, 1866". It is all original from matching numbers on parts, varnished walnut stock with ram-rod that may have been replaced. Would make an excellent addition to a collection of similar period firearms.
Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
