Percussion Cap Pepperpot/Pepperbox Pistol [W008]

Six Shot Pepperbox Percussion Cap Pistol. This type of firearm was popular in North America from 1830 until the American Civil War, but the concept was introduced much earlier. This was the precursor to the modern revolver.

The original design dates back to the 15th century, but in the late 1700s the concept was better utilized using the flintlock action, and by the early 1800s the pepper pot was being produced using all manor of firing systems including percussion, rimfire, centre fire etc.

Featuring a smooth Cuban mahogany grip and scrolling pattern engraved on frame. On one side the engraving seems to have been buffed and redone.
