Colt 1851 Navy Yank PepperBox .36, Samuel Colt six-shot barrelless percussion black powder revolver in .36 caliber. Designed to be easy to conceal and an extremely effective self-defense weapon. The shortening of the dimensions of the revolver was obtained by abandoning the classic barrel, its function is performed by longer cartridge chambers in the extended barrel.
Pepperbox - the beam revolver got its name from the similarity with the pepper shaker. It is characterized by three or more barrels rotating around their axis. This type of weapon was popular in North America from 1830 to the American Civil War. The concept itself appeared much earlier, already in the 15th century several barrels were connected on one cradle and each charge was fired separately. With the invention of percussion revolvers, the popularity of pepper shakers is growing. At the end of the 19th century, these revolvers became a very popular self-defense weapon.
Construction - fire-hardened: steel frame with an open frame. Trigger cover (guard) and handle fittings are made of polished brass.
Cylinder - a steel 6-chamber extended (acting as a barrel), oxidized black.
Trigger - the trigger tensioning mechanism allows two positions: half tense, intended for placing the caps on fireplaces, and tense for firing a shot.
Claddings - of the handle made of walnut wood, facilitate a firm grip of the weapon. Oiling strengthens the color of the wood, enhances the grain and maintains its natural appearance. The oil penetrates deep into the wood without clogging the pores, so the wood can breathe.
