The rare "Blued"
Merwin & Hulbert open top pocket army is highly sought by
collectors and is know as the "Holy Grail" of Merwins.
Blued models were non-standard and had to be special ordered from
the factory. Blued pocket models with their short barrels and less
reflective finish, were special ordered by Sheriffs, Marshals and
Law Men, who were in need of all these special features.
Here we have, not one, but two; a
"Holy Grail" pair in superb condition having been produced in 1881,
the 1st
year of production. Each is caliber marked "Model
1873 Winchester" meaning the big bore 44-40 cal. that
was so popular during that period.
This unique pair has 3 digit consecutive serial numbers,
22x, 22x, with corresponding 2 digit consecutive assembly
numbers 3x, 3x.
A very unique Contemporary casing of
this pair includes an original 1880's Merwin Hulbert Company Sporting Goods Shield,
a period
screw driver, a period key-ring, an oiler, and 18 cartridges.
A true one-of-a-kind ........
two-of-a-kind.
