STOCKING & CO S.A. PEPPERBOX REVOLVER
Alexander Stocking worked for the Allen & Wheelock company during its early days. Stocking secured a patent for his own pepperbox design in 1848 and by the following year had established his own gun making firm in Worcester, Stocking & Company. This is an unusual design in that it is a single action only with large top lever that advances the cylinder so it must be pressed each time. Barrel is 3.5" in 28 caliber with engraved frame and walnut grips. Condition. Smooth patina. Lever stays cocked and fires but barrels do not advance. ANTIQUE
