Pepperbox Pistol, J.R. Cooper’s Patent. A Six-shot Percussion Pepperbox Pistol, Birmingham Proofed, Circa 1839
£850 $1,149 €978
A good original example of a six-shot percussion pepperbox pocket pistol dating from the early Victorian period, circa 1839. The steel frame is engraved with a scroll cartouche bearing the inscription “J.R. Cooper’s Patent”, a system widely adopted by the Birmingham gun trade during the late 1830s and early 1840s.
The pistol retains its fluted six-barrel cluster measuring approximately 3 inches, with Birmingham proof marks visible on the barrel flats. The frame shows attractive period scroll engraving and is fitted with a chequered walnut bag-shaped grip and ring trigger guard typical of compact pocket pistols of the period.
A well-proportioned early pepperbox pistol of pocket size, measuring approximately 19 cm overall, remaining a pleasing and honest example of early multi-shot civilian firearms.
