Lot 1593:
Premier Spur Trigger Single Action Pocket Revolver .22 Rimfire with 2.5 Inch Barrel
Description
This lot features a single-action spur trigger pocket revolver chambered in .22 caliber rimfire, manufactured under the Premier brand name. The firearm is configured with a 2.5-inch octagonal barrel and a five-shot fluted cylinder. The frame utilizes a classic bird’s head grip design fitted with dark, smooth wood panels secured by a single brass screw. Key markings include the model designation PREMIER stamped clearly on the top strap of the frame. The revolver retains a significant portion of its original nickel-plated finish, though it exhibits characteristic wear for its age. The hammer features a checkered spur for manual cocking, typical of the single-action design. The cylinder pin is visible at the front of the frame, and a side-plate screw is located on the right side behind the cylinder.
Condition report:
The firearm\'s nickel-plated finish shows extensive flaking and wear, particularly on the barrel, cylinder, and frame edges. Areas of exposed metal display a dark gray patina with significant surface oxidation and pitting. The cylinder shows a visible turn line and scattered freckling. The bore appears dark with visible pitting and faint rifling. The action appears to function mechanically, with the hammer holding at full cock and the cylinder advancing, although it has not been live-fire tested. The wood grip panels show scattered dings and scratches but remain solid and free of major cracks.
