MERWIN AND HULBERT 44-40

Merwin and Hulbert 44-40 Early Model with Mexican Holster. This old frontier Merwin and Hulbert has seen a lot of miles. The rare brown grips are worn almost smooth and it shows a lot of holster wear at the muzzle. The holster was made to fit the revolver and is in the style used around the time of the Mexican Revolution. This is probably a local gun and it was found in Tucson. It was a nickel plated revolver, but little of the nickel remains. The gun works, but there is a spring broken in the lockup latch at the bottom of the frame. It is not an expensive repair. I have not gotten to it. It will open some times to eject the cartridges.

The holster was made for this gun and it shows a lot of wear. This is a Tombstone, Bisbee, Nogales, Tucson, or Mexico piece.
