CONFEDERATE GRISWOLD REVOLVER.

CONFEDERATE GRISWOLD REVOLVER. SN 3000. Cal. 36. This is a standard second model Griswold revolver being among the highest SNs known that is complete. This gun overall is in very good condition showing tiny traces of finish in the protected area of the barrel well. This gun saw obvious use. Note the muzzle wear from being taken in and out of the holster, the safety pins are all intact, though the cones have all been a bit flattened and distorted from use. This gun appears all-original and authentic in every regard including the screws. This gun has a very pleasant mustard-colored patina to the brass, and a nice dark brown surface to the metal surfaces. This gun is SN’d 3000 on left side of bbl, housing, frame, and cylinder. You can still see some turning marks on cylinder. There is no secondary number found on loading arm, wedge, or hammer, or other parts normally encountered; but there is little doubt all parts are original. A cryptic “II” is found on bottom of bbl and on back of frame, and “II” over-stamping “B” is found on backstrap and trigger guard. A Roman numeral “VI” is found on backstrap, and a Roman numeral “I” and a “V” is found on trigger guard. CONDITION: This gun is overall very good. A small iron fixed rear sight has been added to top flat of bbl, which appears contemporary to the war, and is patinaed like the rest of the iron being gray/brown with scattered areas of staining and pitting. The cylinder shows distinct twist marks and original tool marks. Arbor has a 3/4″ welded repair on the top portion above wedge slot. The right ear of top of trigger guard has a severe casting flaw that has caused separation of that ear from backstrap. However, it is not discernible unless removed, otherwise, only an apparent crack is only visible at that horn. The crack in separated area is heavily patinaed at the separation showing it has probably been like that since the war. Stocks are sound and well-fit with several gouges where apparently buttstock was used as a hammer. 45804 JS11 (17,500-22,500)
