Cased Engraved Robbins & Lawrence Co. Leonard's Patent Pepperbox Pistol

Manufactured in the 1850s with bead and notch sights, "ROBBINS & LAWRENCE CO." on one rib, "WINDSOR. VT" on another rib, and "LEONARDS PATENT. 1849" on another rib. The frame and breech has scroll engraving. The barrel group unscrews for loading. Includes a fitted hardwood case Robbins & Lawrence powder flask, cap tin, and lead projectiles.

ConditionVery good, showing mostly a smooth grey-brown patina with a few scattered patches of light pitting and crisp engraving. The grips are fine with some scattered minor dings and chips in the varnish. Mechanically needs adjustment as the ring trigger does not consistently engage the mechanism. The case and remaining accessories are all very good with a few scattered minor dings.
