I was recently given an Allen percussion sidewinder pistol. I found the following information but I would also like to try to determine if it has any historical or financial value. The current condition is rusted, but that is for another post. If you can help answer these questions, I would appreciate it very much.
general information:
Pocket model Side-hammer revolver
The Pocket model is a five-shot, .28 caliber weapon. The cylinder is beautifully engraved with a scene of forest animals. The pocket model only used the fourth cylinder type, which was 1 9/16 inches long. Standard barrel length is four inches. Three different model variations are generally accepted.
