Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a monumental piece of American arms development: a New Haven Arms No. 1 Volcanic lever action pocket pistol. Manufactured between 1857 and 1860, this .31 caliber specimen features a 3.5-inch octagonal barrel and integral 6-shot magazine. As one of only 850 units ever produced, it is an exceptionally rare artifact of frontier history.
This pistol showcases exquisite period master hand engraving across its iconic brass frame, reflecting the high-art style of the mid-19th century. The barrel retains honest remnants of its original bluing, providing a striking contrast to the golden brass. It is fitted with magnificent genuine period ivory grips that have aged to a creamy, mellow patina, further elevating this Volcanic’s status.
Housed in a deluxe wood and glass presentation case with a red velvet interior, this antique firearm remains in good to very good condition. The mechanical action is fine, and the rifled bore remains good with only the expected light pitting for its age. This represents a top-tier investment-grade opportunity to own the direct predecessor to the legendary Henry and Winchester rifles.
