E. Whitney .31 cal. Pocket Model
Here is a nice E. Whitney Pocket Model, Second Model, Second Type, .31 caliber cap and ball, five shot percussion revolver with 5 1/8" octagon barrel. It is marked "E. Whitney / N. Haven" on the top barrel flat and serial number 16310 on the barrel, cylinder and loading lever which are the only markings. It has seven groove rifling and the bore and cylinders are excellent. The cylinder scene is about 80% and has the ship, shield and lion with "Whitneyville" banner. There is a brass trigger guard. The frame bluing has turned gray, the barrel retains about 25% and the loading lever and hammer have nearly all the case colors, about 90%. The only detriment is that the well fit walnut grips do not have the matching serial number to the gun. A nice example of a used Civil War private purchase revolver.
