EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Pepperbox percussion revolver made by J. Long of London, dating back to around 1840. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wooden and metal masterpiece is an exquisite example of 19th-century English craftsmanship. The engraved German silver frame adds an air of elegance to the revolver's design, while its six-shot barrel hints at its formidable power. Inscribed as the "Improved revolving pistol" it bears the prestigious name of J. Long, who operated from his shop at 7 The Haymarket in London. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when firearms were not only functional tools but also works of art. This pepperbox percussion revolver stands as a testament to both ingenuity and style. Its Victorian origins evoke images of gentlemen dueling on foggy London streets or adventurers embarking on daring escapades across distant lands. With its nickel finish gleaming under the light, one can almost hear the echoes of gunshots reverberating through history. Preserved within a private collection and now immortalized through photography by Peter Newark Historical Pictures, this extraordinary weapon serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can hold profound stories waiting to be discovered.
