- Lot Description
.38RF, 7.375" octagonal barrel, S/N 152. Blued finish, two-piece smooth walnut grips. Top of barrel marked BACON MF'G CO NORWICH, CONN. Frame with light scroll engraving, matching serial numbers throughout including grips which are numbered in pencil. These large frame single action cartridge revolvers were produced by Bacon during the early 1860s, with less than 1,000 of all variants believed to be produced. This is a first variation of the first model, with the hinged cylinder arbor pin which must be withdrawn to remove the cylinder for loading and unloading. The pin doubled as a means to eject spent cartridges. About 400 of this variation of the Bacon Navy revolver were produced, making them very relatively scarce.
Good. Retains no original finish with a mottled gray and brown appearance and areas of scattered surface oxidation and some minor pitting. Not mechanically functional, appears to need a hand spring. Grips good with wear. A solid example of a scarce early Civil War era cartridge revolver worthy of some mechanical repair.Condition
