Please click the image for a larger version
C.S.Shattuck, Hatfield, Mass. "sideswing" .32 caliber revolver. Novel design where cylinder swings out to the right for loading, foreshadowing the swing-out cylinders that would eventually become common on revolvers. God markings on left side of barrel and frame, with additional desirable "UNIQUE" trade name marking on top of barrel. Metal parts have very fine original nickel finish, showing slight flaking on the frame and cylinder. Fancy "martyred presidents" grips featuring busts of Lincoln and Garfield are very fine, free of cracks and chips. Mechanically good, sold as a collector item only, not warranted safe to shoot.
