I just acquired this and know nothing about it. I see no markings except a serial number (95237) behind the trigger. The barrels rotate manually to the left when viewed from the rear. Any info on age, manufacturer or value will be appreciated.

A reproduction from the 1980 - 90's. Possibly a kit gun not very well finished. Value less than $100 IMHO. Looks solid. Hopefully the bores are clean. Good luck.

It is an Ethan Allen Pepperbox. Because it has a serial number I think it is a reproduction, possibly a kit gun. I have one still in kit form that looks amost exactly like yours (except my barrel is a rounder shape). It should be double action only (pull the trigger turns the barrel and raises the hammer). My kit was made by Classic Arms Ltd. in Palmer Mass. Sorry I don't know the value.
Try researching CMC.
I have tried searching for all models mentioned in the replies an came up empty. Can anyone furnish a link to one that matches mine?
Maybe not exactly what you specified - but maybe has some information that is useful:

Thank you Adams QuailHunter!. I do not know if this one automatically turns the barrel when the trigger is pulled. Mine does not, you have to manually rotate the barrel between shots. I am happy as I paid less than the price of the kit. Thanks again!
After reading the assembly instructions in your post I know mine is correct in that it is correct that the barrel is manually rotated. Thanks again!
