Item Details
Low Estimate1200
High Estimate1800
serial #1652, 34 cal., 9 1/2” part-round part-octagon heavy barrel with a lightly oxidized bore showing strong rifling throughout. David H. Hilliard of Cornish, NH was an active gunsmith from 1860 to about 1880 and he favored the underhammer design, his work being respected among collectors. The barrel and top tang have taken on a lovely antique brown patina with scattered spots of oxidation and pitting. The detachable blacksmith forged wire stock and the iron furniture have the same lovely brown patina. The smooth curly maple one-piece pistol grip stock shows little handling wear although there is a small crack on the rear of the hand extension below the rear sight. This gun features a dovetailed globe front sight with a fine pin front sight and a target style non-adjustable receiver sight. The wire stocks mounts to a steel plate on the butt of the pistol grip and is held in place with a thumbscrew. The barrel is marked “D.H. HILLIARD / CORNISH / NH” and the hammer is serial numbered to the gun. A fine Granite State produced Buggy pistol. (8A11588-23) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)
