Hopkins & Allen Arms Company was an American firearms manufacturing company based in Norwich, Connecticut that was founded in 1868 by Charles W. Allen, Charles A. Converse, Horace Briggs, Samuel S. Hopkins and Charles W. Hopkins. The Hopkins brothers ran the day-to-day operations of the company until it went bankrupt in 1916 and was subsequently bought by Marlin-Rockwell. This is a nice example of Hopkins & Allen’s 1886 & 1893 Patent revolver. It retains its original factory nickel plated finish with just light areas of staining consistent with age. It has a 3 ¼” barrel (7 ½” overall). The barrel has small English proofs indicating production for the British market. The pistol has a blade fore sight and ‘v’ notch on the opening catch rear sight. The top of the barrel has crisp manufacturer & patent detail (all illustrated). The frame is numbered ‘2792’. It has undamaged wood grips. Deactivated to very early UK specification in 1994 the original deactivation certificate was lost at some point in its life & a replacement certificate issued in 2026 without the need for any further deactivation work being required. The pistol’s correct double action only firing mechanism dry fires crisply. The pistol has an open over bored barrel and the cylinders are open & will accept inert rounds. The pistol comes with 5 inert deactivated rounds of .380 ammunition. The price includes UK delivery. D 6059
