Description
Moore Pat. Firearms Co. .32 cal. Front Loading Revolver.  Serial #1696.  Very good condition.  3 ¼” barrel has very good bore with crisp rifling, 30% original finish, turning patina, correct barrel address.  Front hinged swivel gate is missing.  Cylinder has 30” finish turning patina with correct patent markings.  Nickel plated brass frame has 50% original finish with nice scroll engraving.  Smooth walnut grips have 50% remaining finish with a few dings.  One of the early attempts to circumvent the S&W cylinder patents, these guns were chambered for a special “teat fire” cartridge.  Single action works excellent.  An interesting piece of early American revolver history.  Antique, can ship to your door.
