Anybody know anything about a Bacon
« on: July 20, 2022, 03:28:43 PM »
A friend and I are at a relic show and he bought a Bacon pocket pistol.
An open top very similar to a Colt.

I had one. They're pretty decent little guns. I'm no expert but what do you want to know about them?

Hawg his is like your upper one and in nice condition. Do you have a guess  on its value?
All the numbers we’ve found all seem to match.

I'm just guessing but going by past prices I'd say about 400.00 for a decent one now. The bottom one is an Allen & Wheelock .22. Both were made in 1858. The serial number on the Bacon was 606.
