    A Mariette pepperbox revolver with five rotating barrels, dating from 1840-1850.

    7 cm Damascus barrels. 11 mm caliber. Each barrel has a breechblock with a nipple. The breechblocks and barrels are numbered identically to allow for matching during disassembly and reassembly. Each barrel is rifled at the muzzle. These grooves are for a wrench used to unscrew them for loading (forged-ball guns).

    One of the flash hiders separating the nipples is stamped ELG within a circle, representing the Liège proof mark for black powder firearms, and a crowned D.

    Cylindrical frame decorated with scrollwork, numbered 744 on the top. Upper buttplate decorated in the same style. Lower buttplate engraved "Mariette – Patented".

    Double-action mechanism. The ring-shaped trigger lifts a hammer located beneath the receiver in front of it, causing the barrel block to rotate.

    Smooth ebony grips with ornate eye bolts.

    The firearm is in very good condition with a patina of age, a testament to the ingenuity of the gunsmithing craftsmanship of the period. The mechanism is in perfect working order.

    History: The patent for this system was filed by Gilles Mariette in 1837.
