Lot #1426:
(A) EXQUISITE FACTORY ENGRAVED HOPKINS & ALLEN BLUE JACKET NO. 2 REVOLVER
This pistol was manufactured by the famed Hopkins and Allen company during the 1870s and 80s. It is extremely ornate featuring an engraved, gold plated, and fluted cylinder while balance of gun is nickel plated and engraved in typical H&A style with ivory grips. The original box is actually printed as part of the cover label "Ivory Handle, Enameled, Engraved, Gold and Full plated" Placing small amounts of various color enamel into the small engraved designs with a trait that is associated with their firearms. Also features the standard round barrel, case colored hammer, and spur trigger. Top of frame exhibits both the Blue Jacket model legend as well as the Hopkins and Allen legend. CONDITION: Excellent. Appears unfired since proof with complete gold on face and retaining virtually all of the crisp nickel. Even the hammer retains bold case color. Grips are also excellent. Mechanically crisp. Bore is well defined but shows some light abrasion. The original box is in very good condition, missing one end panel, with most of the original printing still quite legible.
