English Adams Model 1872 Center Fire Revolver Caliber: .450 Price: $1795 Inventory # apc_0176 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Impressive large frame double action English revolver. The revolver is almost identical with military Adams Mark III. The major difference is a lack of the Roman numeral, "III" on the right side of the frame just in front of the cylinder. Mechanically, Model 1872 revolver was similar to Model 1867, except for the new ejector system. The top of the octagonal barrel displays following wording, "ADAMS'S PATENT SMALL ARMS CO.. 391, STRAND, LONDON". Right side of the frame is marked, "ADAMS'S PATENT", and, "JA TRADE MARK".

Scarce English Thomas Patent Self Extracting Revolver Caliber: 380 CF. Price: $1375 Inventory # apc_0046 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Very scarce and interesting English medium frame Thomas patent self-extracting revolver! It is so designed that by pressing a catch located forward of the trigger guard and giving a half turn to a bolt fixed on the underside of the barrel, the cylinder was drawn forward by a powerful camming action designed to loosen the spent cases in the chambers. This also released the barrel from the frame of the pistol, so that it could be thrust forward to the full extent of its travel, thus ejecting all empty cases from the cylinder. Before reloading, it was necessary to return the barrel and cylinder to their original position, so that fresh cartridges could be loaded through the loading gate on the right hand side of the breech. Patented in 1869, this was the first English revolver to make any attempt at simultaneous extraction and self-ejection. Left side of the frame is marked, "Thomas's Patent No.779, No.594". Left side of the octagonal barrel and cylinder display following wording, "Cast Steel". Left side of the octagonal barrel displays a caliber designation, "380". Cylinder bridge is marked, "C. Bell" (retailer?). House of Birmingham proofs are stamped on the cylinder. Double action only. Fixed front and rear sights. Five chamber cylinder. Barrel length: 3 inch. The barrel is unusually short for this type of the revolver. It was either manufactured this way, or perhaps the barrel was shortened long time ago. CONDITION: Fine with 35% of blue, with balance being a mixture of white metal and brownish patina. Excellent bore with strong and shiny rifling. The cylinder chambers are also in excellent condition. Original one-piece wooden grip with diamond checkering, is in very good condition, with only few handling marks. No cracks in the wood. Very strong action. All the markings and numbers are clearly visible on metal. All the internal parts of the revolver are in fine condition, with no obvious wear. Missing lanyard ring and barrel turning knob. One of the most unusual revolvers ever manufactured. Very scarce early English self extracting revolver! Antique. (Ref.: "The Revolver 1865-1888" by A.W.F. Taylerson, p.144, also in "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Handguns" by A.B. Zhuk, p.62/367).

The revolver was retailed by Le Page, as indicated by markings on the barrel, "Faure Le Page a Paris" (please, see pictures).
