#4795 Brooklyn Arms Co. revolver (AKA, “Slocum Sliding Sleeve Special”), 32RF,
manufactured between 1863-1864 and being a unique and interesting design with sliding cylinder tubes that loaded the revolver through the SIDE, thus circumventing the Rollin-White patent that prevented competitors from making a rear loading “bored through” cylinder without paying for patent use. The Slocum proved to be mildly successful with over 10,000 produced. This specimen is several notches above the average ones encountered at gun shows today (and they are rearely seen at all), and it is working fully and has nice metal with traces of finish and nice grips. An interesting “second defense” Civil War Era cartridge revolver, and also a good addition to a Firearms Oddity collection. About VG++ $845
