Allen And Wheelock Center Hammer Percussion Army Model Revolver Made 1861-1862

A Scarce Allen And Wheelock Center Hammer Percussion Army Model Revolver Made 1861-1862. 7 and 1/4 inch half round half octagonal barrel. 44 caliber. Total manufactured estimated at 700. This is a good example with a period nickel finish that rates at least 80%. Markings effaced by plating. Age of plating definitely 19th century as it has that mellow color that only results from decades of exposure to air. Original plain walnut two piece grips each factory numbered ‘612’ in good condition. Bore is excellent as is action. This is a very handsome western American large caliber revolver.
