SPILLER & BURR CONFEDERATE REVOLVER.

SPILLER & BURR CONFEDERATE REVOLVER. SN 131/106/855. Cal. 36. This is an interesting Confederate Spiller & Burr revolver which appears original and authentic but contains mixed SN’s including 131 on bbl and 106 on frame under trigger guard and base pin. The cylinder and two-piece stocks appear to be original though not serial numbered. The loading arm is also not serial numbered. A cryptic “J” is stamped twice on backstrap of frame under stocks. “855” is stamped internally on trigger guard. It is interesting to note that SN 855 is a known gun though it has no SN on its trigger guard or cyl. It is also interesting that SN 131 appears in Bill Albaugh’s “The Brass Framed Colt & Whitney“. This particular gun has firm name on bbl and “CS” on frame. It would be interesting to note what the SN on this bbl is. SN 106 has not been noted before and the major components of frame, arbor, stocks, cyl, hammer and trigger all appear consistent with this frame.Interesting that the 106 consists of an upside down 1 and 0 is overstamped over 6, also on toe of backstrap, the # present could appear as upside down 1, 6 and next # is just scratched in 1, looks like they were trying. Lots of numbers on this gun, regardless, this is a nice example of an original Confederate Spiller & Burr revolver with good patina that functions well. CONDITION: Metal overall is gray/brown with areas of rust and pitting. Brass frame and trigger guard have mustard colored patina. Bbl latch, which is soldered in place, possibly replaced as is wing nut that holds cyl pin in place through frame. Left stock show about a 1/2″ repair at top where it abuts frame and there is about a 3/4″ chip on right stock at toe. 44288 JS12 (10,000-15,000)
