- Jacob Rupertus (* 1822/1823 in Bayern; † 14. Februar 1921 in , Pennsylvania) war ein US-amerikanischer Konstrukteur und Hersteller von Faustfeuerwaffen. Er darf nicht verwechselt werden mit Jacob Rupertus (1827–25. Juli 1900), der Lebensmittelhändler in Montgomery, PA, war . In der englischen Patentschrift No. GB 1899 17520 wird seine Heimatadresse mit: „JACOB RUPERTUS, of 5519, Royal Street, Germantown, in the City and County of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, United States of America“ angegeben.Der Sitz seiner zwischen 1859 und 1899 aktiven Firma namens Rupertus Patented Pistol Manufacturing Company lag in Philadelphia, 1924 North 4th Street. Die ehemaligen Firmengebäude an der Ecke North 4th Street und W. Hewsonstreet existieren im Jahre 2010 nicht mehr. Insbesondere die Bündelrevolver „Pepper-Box“ von Rupertus sind bekannt, von denen etwa 3.000 Stück hergestellt wurden. In den späten 1860er-Jahren produzierte er unter der Bezeichnung „Straight Line“ eine Anzahl von einschüssigen Taschenpistolen im Kaliber .36, Lauflänge 3½ Zoll und 4¼ Zoll, wenige dieser Billigprodukte tragen die Aufschrift RUPERTUS/PAT'D. Des Weiteren produzierte er Revolver und einläufige Schrotflinten. (de)
- Jacob Rupertus (1822/1823 – 1921) was an American handgun designer and manufacturer. He was born in Bavaria and died in Laurel Springs, New Jersey, on February 14, 1921. He was married to Caroline Bechtel circa 1849. Caroline was born Feb 12, 1831 in Leiterswiller, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France and died Feb 26, 1911 also in Laurel Springs. They were buried in the now defunct American Mechanics Cemetery in Philadelphia. This Jacob Rupertus should not be confused with another Jacob Rupertus 1827-1900 who also lived in Philadelphia, but was not involved in gun manufacturing. Rupertus founded the Rupertus Patented Pistol Manufacturing Company in Philadelphia, 1924 North 4th Street, which was active between 1859 and 1899. On July 19, 1864 he received the US patent No.43.606 for a revolver with a rotating multi-shot barrel group (pepper-box). (en)
