Item # 108 Antique Allen and Thurber Pepperbox Pistol This Allen and Thurber .32 caliber 6 shot Pepperbox pistol was manufactured around 1845. It is a box hammer percussion revolver pistol. Pepperbox pistols were so named because the front view of the weapon was so reminiscent of a Pepper Pot of the time being a circle of round holes. This example was made by Ethan Allen of Massachusetts. Allen developed his gun business by taking his brother-in-law Charles Thurber as his partner, and they moved the plant to Worcester, Mass. Ethan Allen applied for various patents, most notably early on for a "TUBE HAMMER" ignition system in 1837, which was renewed in 1845. This is a very nice example of this style of pistol. Price $1850
