Lot 1293:
Charter Arms Bulldog Pug Double-Action Revolver .44 Special with 2.5 Inch Barrel
Description
This Charter Arms Bulldog Pug is a five-shot double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .44 Special, a caliber known for its defensive stopping power in a compact frame. The firearm is equipped with a 2.5-inch barrel featuring an integral shrouded ejector rod and a fixed front ramp sight. The metal surfaces display a matte stainless steel or nickel-plated finish, complemented by a black finished trigger and a spurred hammer. The frame is fitted with smooth, two-piece hardwood grips featuring silver-tone Charter Arms medallions. Extensive markings are visible on the piece: the left side of the barrel is stamped BULLDOG PUG / 44SPL., while the right side of the barrel is marked CHARTER ARMS CORP. / STRATFORD, CONN. The serial number 1116961 is clearly struck on the right side of the frame. Based on the Stratford, Connecticut manufacturer address, this example represents the original production era of the company before subsequent corporate relocations. Mechanical function has not been independently verified, and we have not function-tested this firearm. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The revolver is in good used condition. The matte finish shows a visible cylinder turn-line and scattered light surface scratches consistent with handling and carry. The bore is bright with well-defined rifling. The wooden grips remain solid with minor impressions and light finish wear but no visible cracks. The action appears to cycle correctly in both single and double action with positive cylinder lock-up.
