Pepper-box revolver from Småland, Sweden, made by Johan Engholm, Ödestugu (1820-1918)

Anders Johan Engholm (1 September 1820 – 25 October 1918) was a gunsmith from the county of Småland, Sweden.

Born in 1820 in Ånaryd, Ödestugu, Sweden, Johan began making weapons some time in the 1840s and made 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8-pipe pepper-box revolvers. His signatures were J ENGh and IEH. He died in 1918 in Hestra, Ödestugu, Sweden.

Several descendants of Johan Engholm emigrated to the US (mainly Illinois) in the beginning of the 20th century.
