Provenance: our consignor remembers paying “around $8,000” for this about 25 years ago at an obscure auction near Lake Murray; Property from Historic Dean Hall Plantation, South Carolina
Note: This firearm is an oddity in that it bears a shorter barrel than any other Palmetto Armory firearm. It makes one consider the possibility that it was cut down, although there is no evidence of this at the barrel end.
