Lot #1386:
(A) ENGLISH CASED TRANTER .32 POCKET REVOLVER
This mid 19th century revolver was built in Birmingham. It features an engraved brass frame, octagonal brass barrel, high polish blue cylinder, peacock blued hammer, spur trigger, and hand checkered fine LOP grips. Comes housed in an English case with a Griffiths & Worsley trade label (1862 through 1869 at 2 St. Mary's Gate), a brass handled cleaning rod, oil bottle, and wood handled turn screw. The Griffiths & Worsley legend is stamped atop the frame and there are numerous British proof marks. The frame and back strap exhibit some fine scroll engraving. CONDITION: Excellent. All brass has nicely toned. Cylinder retains most of the bright blue. Grips are near mint with an engraved silver escutcheon on both panels. Case is excellent. Mechanically sound with bold rifling that shows minor abrasion. Beautiful cased set and hard to find early cartridge revolver.
