Frontier Gunsmith Recreation of Pieper Carbine

Description

This primitive relic is a gunsmith’s recreation of a Pieper Carbine. It was made from a frontier double action sold in the 1880’s and 1890’s in 44 & 45 caliber. It has a homemade barrel and a reshaped grip frame. This is a true relic and is not functional. The Pieper is a complex revolver which looks a lot like this relic but the difference is very great.
This gun was made by a Mexican gunsmith and turned up in Arizona. I have included photos of the revolver from a 1897 Sears Roebuck Catalogue. This was likely the source of the revolver. 850.00
