Blue Jacket No 2 Hopkins and Allen .32 Rimfire 5-Shot Revolver Dated 1871 ANTIQUE NO PERMIT REQUIRED

The Blue Jacket No 2 revolver is a .32 rimfire, 5-shot pocket revolver manufactured by Hopkins and Allen in the United States. This example is dated 1871, situating it firmly in the late 19th century. It features a single-action mechanism, spur trigger, and a blued finish typical of period handguns. The compact design and small caliber made it suitable for personal defense during its era of production. The “No 2” designation refers to the .32 rimfire chambering, distinguishing it from other Blue Jacket models. Hopkins and Allen, known for producing a wide range of affordable firearms in the 19th century, distributed these revolvers widely. This revolver qualifies as an antique under current regulations, requiring no permit for ownership in many jurisdictions. Its age, design, and place in American firearms history make it a representative specimen of post-Civil War concealed carry arms.
