St
Merwin Hulbert & Co. Medium Frame Double Action Revolver with Spare Barrel
serial #12469, assembly # 1044, 32 S&W, 5½" and a 3½" ribbed barrels with pinned front sights, two-line maker's inscription and very good bores showing strong rifling with minor pitting. Revolver remains 97% bright nickel with the exception of the cylinder which has flaked slightly and retains about 80% original nickel. Under the cylinder on the left side inscription 32 CAL, 7 SHOT. The folding hammer showing the patent date JAN. 27, 85 and trigger have faded to a mottled pewter case-hardened gray, the hammer showing some light oxidation. The checkered hard rubber "checkerboard" grips rate excellent. The grips are numbered to the frame; frame cylinder and both barrel assemblies are numbered alike. Butt is equipped with lanyard loop. There are some very minor dings at top rear of barrel extension. A nice, all matching,7-shot, two barrel Merwin in fine condition. Flayderman's # 8A-086 "scarce." $1,850.

useful information from the author of a new book,
planned to be published - "when?" 1st System
You might want to include in
your section about Merwin Hulbert serial and assembly numbers that the early
arms (1st System) also had matching assembly numbers on the right
side of the hammer, bottom of the barrel latch, front side of the takedown
lever, inside of the side plate, upper edge of the trigger guard and inside face
of the loading gate. With the frame, cylinder and barrel, this make a total of
9 parts stamped with the assembly number…quite unique for an American firearm of
the late 19th century. 2nd System:
(middle production arms) 3rd System:
(last production arms)
Excellent condition. Flayderman's # 8A-089
$1,700.
