Vintage Hopkins and Allen Merwin & Hulbert .22 rimfire. Barrel length is 22 inches. This would be the 22 long or 22 short black powder cartridge of the day. A very nice and fairly rare octagonal barrel single shot with a saddle ring and a straight stock. It has a Winchester-style crescent butt with metal butt plate. The straight stock and foregrip are both factory checkered. Original "Buckhorn" style rear sight and an original, dovetailed half-moon front site with an ivory or resign bead. Bore is rough but could use a good cleaning before shooting. An original and fairly rare octagonal barrel 22. Great piece of 1880s firearm technology for the 22 collector or a wonderful piece to teach target practice to young students.
