Serial/Batch Numbers
Allen & Wheelock Side Hammer Pocket Percussion Revolver
The Sidehammer Pocket has the same 3 variants as the Sidehammer Belt:
- First type: The trigger guard has a friction latch system and a side plate with 3 screws.
- Second type: The 3-screw side plate is replaced by a 2-screw side plate. The trigger guard has still the friction latch.
- Third type: The trigger guard has the improved snap latch, and the side plate has now only a single screw
As with the Belt, I will classify the 1st and 2nd type in the same serial range, and the 3rd type in its own range.
