Hopkins and Allen Scott Revolver rifle.

I recently purchased a Hopkins and Allen Scott revolver rifle in 38rf but can not find any information on them anywhere. Does anyone have an idea of the years of production or number produced? I cant even find a picture of one on google.

There is a listing for a Hopkins and Allen Specimen Gun 38 calibre. Don't know if this is what you purchased.

Stocks are different and the one in the ad seems to have a longer arbor pin. Would love to find some literature on it.

Likely one of the guns Hopkins & Allen contracted for the Chichester Rifle Company. Like most of the Hopkins and Allen guns, there is little to no verifiable, published information about them.

Forgotten Weapons did a video on one in a shotgun configuration that you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPV4Na5j1N4
