A striking and unusual addition to any black-powder collection, this 1851 Pepperbox is built on the familiar 1851 Navy revolver frame with an extended cylinder retained by a threaded screw on the cylinder pin. The result is a distinctive period-style piece that blends historical character with practical function. 

Crafted with traditional finishes and materials, the Pepperbox features a case-hardened steel frame, brass backstrap and trigger guard, and a walnut Navy-size grip for authentic handling and appearance. Though the cylinder is lengthened to accommodate the pepperbox layout, it follows the standard loading recommendations for a Navy revolver as provided in the manufacturer’s manual. 

The Pepperbox is a conversation piece — visually distinct from standard revolvers and evocative of mid-19th century innovation in handgun design. It’s ideal for collectors, living-history interpreters, and controlled black-powder shooting where permitted.
