.33 caliber, 27.875" octagonal barrel, no S/N. Retains original Patent Office tag identifying this as the model for Benjamin Grooms repeating firearm, patented January 1, 1856 as #14,017. The interesting mechanism involved the use of a removable chamber section into which several cartridges could be loaded and what Grooms refers to in the specification as a "discharging hammer." The complete specification and drawings can be seen on the US Patent Office Web site: (https://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?PageNum=0&docid=00014017&IDKey=A744BE4B4694&HomeUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fpatft.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2Fnph-Parser%3FSect1%3DPTO1%2526Sect2%3DHITOFF%2526d%3DPALL%2526p%3D1%2526u%3D%25252Fnetahtml%25252FPTO%25252Fsrchnum.htm%2526r%3D1%2526f%3DG%2526l%3D50%2526s1%3D0014017.PN.%2526OS%3DPN%2F0014017%2526RS%3DPN%2F0014017) Condition: Good, missing some pieces, particularly the removable chamber.
