A. BRECHT VORM. A. BURCKHARDT IN WEIMAR
Støckel: August Brecht, Weimar, Sachsen, 1800 - 1882
Anton Burckhardt, Weimar, circa 1850
unique
revolver with two triggers: the
first one to push frontward to revolve the cylinder, the
other pulled to fire the shot. On
top of barrel and on the cylinder marked
A. BRECHT VORM. A. BURCKHARDT IN WEIMAR
6¼"
octagonal barrel with dovetail front sight and rear sight, caliber .30
percussion. Under the barrel is a ramrod.
The revolver remains in good condition showing strong traces of blue within a
brown patina on cylinder and frame.
The grip is very nicely and deep engraved with most of the original varnish and
some minor scratches and normal aging.
The
revolver is complete including sights, and the
action is working well. A very interesting and probably
unique revolver. The tag on the trigger guard is from the Martin B. Rettig
collection.
$5,000.
