The 1887 Merwin, Hulbert & Co. catalog illustrates one of the most innovative American firearms makers of the late 19th century. Merwin, Hulbert revolvers were noted for their unique twist-and-pull ejection system, compact folding hammers, and high-quality nickel finishes.
The catalog also details their line of rifles and shotguns, showcasing the broad product range that competed directly with Colt, Smith & Wesson, and Winchester during the same period.
