CONFEDERATE SPILLER & BURR REVOLVER WITH RARE “SPILLER & BURR” MARKING, “CS” AND SERIAL NUMBERED CYLINDER.

SN 203. Cal. 36. Spiller & Burrs were made in Atlanta and then Macon, Georgia with a total production of less than 1,500 guns. This particular brass framed copy of a Whitney revolver is the most difficult of the major Confederate manufacturers to find, especially with full firm marking “SPILLER & BURR” on top bbl flat. “C.S.” is boldly marked on left side of frame and matching SNs are found on bbl, frame, cylinder, trigger guard and one of the two orig wood grips. PROVENANCE: Exhibited in Denver, Colorado sporting goods store from 1950’s til purchased by John Maddox in 2003; Dr. Frederick G. Novy Collection. CONDITION: Gun is good overall, gun appears orig with matching SNs found on bbl, frame, backstrap, trigger guard and cylinder. SN is also found penciled inside left grip with large stamped “W” inspector on bottom of right. Orig Spiller arbor is SN 284. Loading arm is unserialized and is probably restored as is front latch. Some internal parts are restored and nose of hammer has very old repair. Integral backstrap internally has cryptic “M” stamped on left side upside down. Grips are sound and well fit with hand worn patina with much edge wear and putty repairs at either rear toe. Mechanically gun holds cock and rotates cylinder, but sloppily. bore retains crisp discernible rifling and front brass cone sight has been re-shaped into larger lower sphere like shotgun (possibly for easier access in and out of holster). Regardless, this is an attractive gun with a crisp “CS” marking, good firm mark and SN’d cylinder, rarely offered. 50373-4 JS (20,000-30,000) – Lot 4371
