This superb Civil War revolver was originally part of the world famous collection of the late William Locke of Ohio (deceased 1972) whose collection was photographed and catalogued for collectors' use and published 1972 in a massive 541 page hard cover album. This Pond revolver appears on page 387 of that album. Basic research of Cap’t Luther Dame of Newburyport, Mass. (a town north of Boston) indicates his early acceptance for Civil War service in Oct., 1861 as a Captain in the 11’th Massachusetts Vol. Infantry and was very likely injured at Battle of First Bull Run July, 1861 where the 11’th Mass. lost 88 men and mustered out May, 1862. Later in 1863, he commanded a short-term 90 day 3’rd Mass. Volunteer Militia Infantry outfit as captain at Fort Pickering, Salem, May to August, 1864 (likely there’s a lot more to this story with further research). Civil War handguns don’t come any better!

Displaying superb quality, and in fine condition, weighing <strong>3 pounds</strong> and measuring 10 ½ inches overall. 5 ½ inch ribbed barrels; the full engraving filling the frame, hammer, the large nipple shield, trigger guard, etc. is exceptionally delicate and finely executed (rarely seen in this superb quality on pepperboxes!); left side of frame engraved in extremely delicate, tiny, full four line, lengthy markings <strong><em>“J. R. COOPER’S IMPROVED SELF ACTING REVOLVING PISTOL.”</em></strong> Engraving same quality also on the butt cap and which contains a hinged cap box. All markings and mechanically exc.+. Metal shows very little wear or use, and is exc.+; full length of barrels and all of frame and hammer were <strong><em>case hardened</em></strong> with about 80% of those colors still visible on the frame (bright in large sections; light but visible in others); barrels retain considerable traces of case hardening throughout all length, mostly visible on the barrel ribs and extreme end of barrels.
