T. HOBBS Percussion Pistol ?

[johnh]

I am going to be selling a .40 percussion pistol, signed on the frame and barrel T. Hobbs. Heavy barrel, high grade wood. Perfect action. Anyone familiar with these?

Looks like a fancy TC scout. You do not see the scout on here because it is an inline. Would be interesting to see how the action works on that one.

Neat piece though for sure.

Looks like somebody's take on a Prospecter pistol. Really nice.

There were many "straight line" pistols made in the 1860s.

I wonder if that was made by Tom Hobbs of H&H barrel fame.

I was told it was Tom Hobbs.

Have you had it apart? If so is the trigger and hammer internals the same as a 1851 navy?

This is not a revolver.

Definitely a direct ignition pistol & very nice looking one

Yes, I’m aware it’s not a revolver. It appears the pistol was built using an 1851 navy grip frame, grips, trigger and trigger guard. That’s why I asked about the internals.

 

[johnh]

Any idea of the $ value?

 

[Gtrubicon]

It’s a cool piece, throw a number that works for you and see what the market will bear.
