Designed by Brazilian Armand Chuchu, this unique folding pepperbox pistol utilizes a rotating firing pin very similar to Sharps pistols. The barrel cluster completely folds over against the grip, the latch doubling as a cover keeping the ammunition from falling out while folded. Frame and barrel are engraved with tasteful scrolls and borders. A crown over "RF" present on the top of the frame. "A. CHUCHU / PATENT" stamped on the left side over the serial number. Grips are 2-piece checkered gutta percha with "AC" monograms at the top. CONDITION: Very good. Cleaned in the European fashion with some light patina. Grips have some light wear and a small nick in the right panel. Bores are strong with some abrasions. Action is frozen. A very interesting and scarce pepperbox.
