Bacon Mfg Co cartridge pocket revolver. Flayderman 8A-017. An early revolver, only about 300 were made before patent infringement suits by Smith & Wesson brought production to a halt. Metal surfaces are an attractive medium plumb brown patina. Not immediately apparent, the triggerguard is a replacement. Very fine lettering on the barrel is nicely readable. Wood grips are very good, showing average wear from use, free of cracks with one minor corner nick. Hammer cocks, but cylinder does not revolve. Sold as a collector item only, not warranted safe to shoot.
