- C. SHARPS & CO. 22 LR MODEL 1 PEPPERBOX
C. SHARPS & CO. 22 LR MODEL 1 PEPPERBOX 1859-74Featured in this lot we have a C. Sharps & Co. 22 Long Rifle Model 1 Pepperbox. The pepperbox features a brass frame, four shot barrel, and engraved gutta percha grips. The story of the Sharps four-barrel pistol begins, officially, on December 18, 1849. On that date, the United States Patent Office issued patent number 6960 for a revolver to Christian Sharps, then residing in Washington, D.C. This "revolver" was actually not a revolver at all, but a pepperbox in which the barrels didn't revolve. It was fired by a striker which did revolve on a center post to hit, in sequence, the percussion caps which were placed on nipples on the ends of the barrels. The side hammer served both as a cocking lever and as the force behind the striker. The pistol was not produced on a commercial basis until 1859, after Sharps had become sole owner of the Fairmont Rifle Works in West Philadelphia. By this time, the metallic cartridge had been introduced and Sharps was able to develop his design into a practical repeating pistol. Patent number 22753 was issued to Sharps on January 25, 1859, again for a "revolver". The first model was .22 caliber. Made with a brass frame, it had a spur or stud trigger and was a single-action, four-shot repeater. Approximately 85,000 of these little pepperboxes were made in the ten years between 1859 and 1868. This pepperbox is in good aesthetic condition, showing some signs of wear and use. The side of the frame is marked "C. Sharps & Co Philada, PA". Serial Number: 22790. This firearm qualifies as an antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.*

- 1859 SHARPS PEPPERBOX PISTOL, .22
1859 SHARPS PEPPERBOX PISTOL, .22 SHORT A four-barreled pepperbox designed by Christian Sharps which saw huge popularity in the 19th Century. The firearm features four blue barrels in a box formation with a simple bead front sight mounted in a bronze frame with brown carved grips with scrollwork designs. The firing pin is mounted to the hammer and works on a ratcheting system to rotate the pin each time the hammer is cocked, allowing the barrels to be fired in a clockwise sequence. This particular pistol is in fair condition with about 50% of the bluing remaining on the barrels as well as some pitting near the muzzles. The rifling in the barrels is present though faded with some frosting. The patent and makers marks on either side of the frame are both heavily worn on the top half with the Sharps name almost completely removed. The frames have also gained a dark patina over the years with some of it scratched and worn off. No mechanical issues found.
