Uhlinger .32 Rim Fire Pocket Revolver. William P. Uhlinger produced about 10,000 rimfire cartridge revolvers in Philadelphia between 1861 and 1865. Since the guns that he made were revolvers with bored through cylinders, he was in violation of the Rollin White Patent, held by Smith & Wesson. Thinking himself clever, Uhlinger marked the guns with a variety of fictitious trade names such as WL Grant, JP Lower and DD Cone in an attempt to conceal his infringement. He was sued by Smith & Wesson for his patent violations, and they won. The suit essentially put Uhlinger out of business. Thats a shame as his revolvers were well made and of advanced design.Overall NRA -Very Good condition. 100% original, 100% complete, and mechanically perfect. Handsome patina. Grips are very nice and gently decorated with some brass inlay by the original shooter. Metal is a mixture of steel-grey and blue-turned-plum patina. No blue finish remains.
