CONDITION: Excellent. This pistol is all original
and shows only very minimal storage wear. The
barrel/magazine retains 90% plus of the original blue finish.
Wear is limited to some scattered patches of surface oxidation and some edge wear on barrel high points.
The Volcanic legend is crisp. The brass receiver has an excellent, untouched, attractive patina. The side-plate joints are tight with no disassembly marks. The hammer retains 90% of the original subdued case colors. The grips are excellent and retain 95% plus of the original varnish finish. Wear is limited to some finish loss on the edges of the butt and a few, very minor, handling marks. Mechanically excellent. This is an outstanding example of a Volcanic Repeating Arms Co., Navy pistol that would be difficult to improve upon. This outstanding pistol would be a key piece in the most advanced collection of Winchester rifles or 19th Century American firearms. Provenance: The Joe Marlin Hilliard Collection.
Estimate: 40,000 - 60,000
