This rare and very nice old civil war boot gun was made in the 1860's by W.W. Marston for Sprague and Marston. The gun is quite large, considering it is a 36 caliber. Especially when most bootguns were half its size and fired lead balls twice as large, but then you realize how much better this old boot gun is made. The thick, heavy and very fancy barrel. The smooth trigger guard and bag style grips. This gun was not just extremely accurate, it was extremely powerful and very very deadly.
All the mechanisms are working nicely and other than someone working at altering the word Norwich on the top strap, this is a fine example of a Civil War soldier's boot pistol and will make a wonderful addition to someone's collection.
