Original Items: Only One Available. Here we have a lovely brass-framed double barrel percussion pistol, made by CMC (Colt Manufacturing Company) during the 1970s. These were often marketed as "CMC Replica Pistols", even though they did not really strictly follow any previous design. Due to the muzzle loaded percussion firing system, firearm qualifies as an Antique per the BATFE, though it is not available for exportation.

This example is typical, measuring 6 5/8 inches long with 3 inch barrels, and it is also fitted with some lovely acrylic pearloid grip scales. Condition is very good, and it still bears the original markings clearly on the underside of the barrel assembly:-

The ignition system utilizes a single trigger for both barrels, and is a "graduated" type system where pulling the trigger first fires the right hammer, and pulling it farther fires the left hammer. Both sides have a half cock position, but the lock does not seem designed to hold there when the trigger is pulled on either side. We assume that both barrels would be loaded, and then the hammer cocked and a percussion cap fitted for the side that one wanted to fire.

A very interesting pistol from the 1970s, made to capitalize on percussion nostalgia. Ready to display!

IMA considers all of our antique guns as non-firing, inoperable and/or inert. Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 921(a)(16) defines antique firearms as all guns made prior to 1899. This law exempts antique firearms from any form of gun control or special engineering because they are not legally considered firearms. No FFL, C&R or any license is required to possess, transport, sell or trade Antique guns. All rifles and muskets sold by IMA that were manufactured prior to 1899 are considered Antiques by the US BATF (United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms). Therefore, all of IMA's Antique guns may be shipped to most US States and most U.S. territories.

These antique guns are not sold in "live" condition, and are not tested for the the ability to feed or load any type of cartridge. They are sold as collector's items or as "wall hangers" not for use, and we make no guarantees regarding functionality aside from what is stated in the description. Any attempt at restoring an antique gun to be operational is strongly discouraged and is done so at the risk of the customer. By purchasing an antique gun from IMA you thereby release IMA, its employees and corporate officers from any and all liability associated with use of our Antique guns.

Pre-1899 Manufacture, no licenses required, allowed to ship to most addresses within the United States.
