The Ultra Rare Bacon Mfg. Co Removable Triggerguard Pocket Revolver Serial Number 16.

4 inch octagonal barrel. 6 shot. .32 rimfire. Full barrel address (even rarer) “BACON MFG CO. NORWICH CONN.” Engraved frame. The barrel with 90% blue finish mixing with brown. The cylinder with blue mixed with brown. Frame a pleasing brown patina. Figured walnut grips with 70% varnish one tight crack on the left panel radiating from the screw escutcheon.

Action is crisp and bore is fine. This is a very scarce Civil War period sidearm with Flayderman estimating production at only 300. Added to its attractions are the two digit serial number. A number of collectors specialize in two digit firearms and this really rare Bacon will appeal to them as well as the aficionado of Civil War rarities.
