CONFEDERATE DANCE REVOLVER.

CONFEDERATE DANCE REVOLVER. Cal. 44. SN 265. Of the approximate 100 Dance pistols that survive, about 85 are 44 Cal. Of these 85 guns, this gun probably falls in the top 10-20%, making this one of the top ten or fifteen 44 Cal. Dances known. SN 265 is found on all major parts including bbl, latch, loading arm, plunger, wedge, cylinder, frame, trigger-guard, and backstrap. Overall edges are sharp. Action is tight and very good. This gun by NRA standards grades good to very good. By confederate standards this gun is fine. Dance revolvers saw hard Confederate use, and the men who carried these knew where they were made and were proud to carry one. Gun appears to be 100% orig and authentic in every regard and is much above average of most encountered specimens. All screws, cones, sight and internal parts appear orig, even the wedge screw which is often lost or restored is orig. CONDITION: SNs are all well struck and fully discernable. SN appears on both left and right side of loading arm. SN 267 is over struck SN 265 on right side of loading arm. Brass backstrap & trigger-guard are yellow brass showing areas of patina in protected areas. Brass was either cleaned or has been handled frequently. Iron surfaces of the gun are grey/brown with scattered pitting overall. Grips show some shrinkage and one 1/4” crack but are well fit to gun. 4-59164 (50,000-70,000)
