Interesting Sharps & Hankins-Style Long-Barreled Single Shot Pistol
serial #2, 9mm RF (.34 cal), 13 3/4'' round barrel with octagonal breech section and an about good bore showing scattered light pitting and old oxidation with otherwise strong rifling throughout. Similar to the Model 3, the metal surfaces of this peculiar pistol have mostly toned to a deep plum-brown patina showing scattered light to moderate old pitting that is partially smoothed-over in some areas. The frame is embellished with rather crude foliate motifs and zigzag bordering and the bottom of the grip frame is grooved for attaching a period shoulder stock that is no longer present. The smooth rosewood grips remain in very fine condition right and very good plus condition left showing some light handling marks and a small hole along the base of the left panel. The front sight is a fine brass blade, the firing pin is mounted in the frame and there is a left-side barrel release button and a pull-down button on the forward underside frame for taking the barrel off quickly. The pistol is equipped with a barrel-hammer interlock safety when the hammer is at full cock and the action seems to function normally. (13A11802-6) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)
