Antique Revolver

I just recently picked up this 1858 Allen and Wheelock percussion cap revolver. All the parts match and are numbered 218.

I don’t know much about these old guns.

Does anyone here have more knowledge of them? How rare is it? How many were made? What is it worth? Any info you guys have would be much appreciated! Thanks

I can't help you with function, but I can heap a ton of praise on its condition.

It's an admirable piece of Americana. I'd be proud to have one.
