Spanish Copy of a Sharps Four-Barrel Pepperbox by Teodoro Ybarzabal
serial #27, 9mm RF, 3'' four-barrel cluster with moderately oxidized bores showing some good rifling throughout. The barrels retain perhaps 35% original bright blue lurking about the protected areas with overall toning to a mild gray-brown patina and the right side with some scattered pinprick pitting. The small flat area at the underside muzzle show maker's name and Eibar location stamp while the left side of the frame shows caliber designation marking in two lines. The iron frame is a mild gunmetal patina with light zigzagging border motif and the smooth walnut grips remain in very fine condition with mostly worn finish and just a few minor handling marks. The barrels lock up well with a transverse bar release and this example is also equipped with a non-spring-loaded ejector rod in the center of the barrels, akin to a hand ejector revolver system. The hammer nose does not rotate properly though the hammer is otherwise crisp and seems to function normally. Another interesting period copy for the Sharps collector.
