L. D. Nimschke Style Engraved Wm. W. MARSTON 3 Barrel .32 Pistol

William Walker Marston manufactured these unique three superposed barrel pistols between 1864 and 1872…This pistol shows the fine New York pattern of engraving, with it’s emphasis on punch dot backed scrollwork and intertwining line patterns, exhibited in most of L. D. Nimschke’s work… Blade front and notch rear sights, with “WM. W. MARSTON / PATENTED / MAY 26. 1857 / NEW YORK CITY / IMPROVED 1864” engraved on the left side of the frame, and the selector/ indicator knob and 3-prong fixed extractor on the right… The rear sight doubles as the barrel latch… Smooth spur trigger, checkered hammer and smooth square butt with pearl grips…Barrels are heavily pitted as illustrated and the hammer doesn’t function correctly…A rare pistol good for display or restoration..
