What’s Included
- J. Stevens A & T Co. No. 41 Tip-Up Pocket Pistol (.22 LR)
Built during the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. period, this No. 41 carries the correct Chicopee Falls address line and the patent legend "PAT. APR.
17. 94," anchoring it to its early 20th-century production window. The micro-size profile and birdshead grip shape reflect its pocket-carry intent from the era.
The single-action, tip-up design uses a front-hinged barrel with a top latch and a rising extractor for simple loading and ejection. It employs an external spur hammer and a spur trigger without a trigger guard, consistent with the period configuration.
The 3.5 inch barrel includes an octagonal breech section and is paired with fixed sights: a half-moon front and an integral rear notch. Chambered in .22 LR with a 1-round capacity, it retains the straightforward, single-shot format of the model.
The frame and receiver show a bright plated/white-metal finish, complemented by two-piece smooth walnut birdshead grips. Overall, it presents as a representative example of the No. 41 Tip-Up series from the A&T Co. era.
