Magnificent Factory Cased and Engraved Volcanic Lever Action Navy Pistol
Lot # 3000 (Sale Order: 1 of 848)
Magnificent Factory Cased and Engraved Volcanic Lever Action Navy Pistol
This is an extraordinary example of a Volcanic Navy Model lever-action pistol with 8-inch barrel that was manufactured by the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company of New Haven, Connecticut, between July 1855 and April 1857. The pistol has a blued octagon barrel and integral magazine, brass frame with silver-plated finish, niter blue cartridge elevator and color casehardened hammer, trigger and loading lever. The two-piece walnut grips have a high gloss varnish finish. The pistol has a nickel-silver cone shaped front sight on the barrel and a fixed, niter blue, rear sight mounted in a dovetail on the frame. The top barrel flat is roll-stamped with the three-line legend: "THE VOLCANIC/REPEATING ARMS CO./PATENT NEWHAVEN CONN. FEB.14.1854". The serial number, "1529" is stamped on the right side of the loading lever, on the left side of the frame at the butt and on the inside of both grips. All of the visible serial numbers match. The pistol frame, side plates and backstrap are factory engraved with the standard Volcanic style scroll and border engraving. The large, open scrolls have simple scalloped borders and extend along the top of the frame and the backstrap. The finish and engraving on this pistol appear to be identical to that of Volcanic pistol serial number 1159 illustrated on page 6 of "THE BOOK OF WINCHESTER ENGRAVING" by R.L. Wilson. The pistol is complete with the original case. The walnut, American Style, case has four compartments and a maroon velvet lining. The case is complete with the original key. The Volcanic lever action pistol was a key predecessor to the Henry Lever Action rifle and subsequent Winchester Model 1866 and 1873 Rifles. Not only did the Volcanic lever action mechanism and integral, magazine serve as the basis for Henry and ear…
