US Civil War Moore’s Patent 32 Cal scarce pistol %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A rare 6 shot US Civil War Moore’s Patent 32 Cal .Teat Fire revolver .
Beautifully engraved with scrolling and rock curls , Very fine original grips , good blued cylinder and barrel , good action ,Moore’s address to the barrel ,The Moore calibre. 32 Teat -Fire, which used a unique cartridge to get around the Rollin White patent owned by Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson, proved very popular during the Civil War with both soldiers and civilians , The Teat-Fire cartridges did not have a rim at the back like conventional cartridges, but were rounded at the rear, with a small teat that would protrude through a tiny opening in the rear of the cylinder.The priming mixture was contained in the teat and when the hammer struck it , the cartridge would fire, thus it was a kin to a rim fire cartridge but instead of having priming all the way around the edge of the rim it is centrally located in the teat ,
National arms produced the revolvers from 1864 when it was acquired by Colt , a very hard to find revolver in excellent condition
