Scarce C.R. Alsop Pocket Model Percussion Revolver

Reportedly, 300 of these pocket revolvers and 500 of the larger Navy Model revolvers were manufactured by Charles R. Alsop of Middletown, Connecticut, in 1862 and 1863 and closely resemble the Savage revolvers of the period. Multiple members of the Alsop family held positions in the Savage Revolving Firearms Company, and Charles Alsop was one of the principal gunsmiths with the firm. The top barrel flat has the two-line address/patent dates marking, the cylinder has the Nov. 1861 patent date marking, and the serial number is marked on the left side of the grip frame. Given that they were produced during the Civil War, many of the Alsop revolvers were likely privately purchased by Union soldiers.

Class: Antique

Very good. The barrel retains 30% original blue finish and the hammer and loading lever retain 20% original case colors, otherwise the revolver has a mixed brown and gray patina associated with a well traveled sidearm. The grips are good with a cracked left panel and repaired right panel. Mechanically excellent. As one of about 300 manufactured, this scarce Civil War era C.R. Alsop Pocket Model percussion revolver is missing from even the most advanced collections.
