Allen & Thurber Standard Size Pepperbox Pistol

Serial #140, .32 caliber, 4" barrel cluster with good, lightly pitted bores.  This is a Worcester-made pistol that has an overall pewter gray patina with scattered patches of mild plum-brown freckling scattered throughout.  The engraving on the frame and the markings on the bar hammer are still crisp and clear.  The bag-shaped grips are in very good shape, with minor handling marks on either side, as well as a few chip at the top of the left panel where it meets the frame.  The mechanism is functional, but the barrels will only advance when the pistol is pointed upward. This is a nice looking pepperbox that rates fair condition overall.  Antique
