RARE CONFEDERATE READ & WATSON RIFLE W/BAYONET. NSN. Cal. .52. 32-3/4” rnd bbl. This rifle has been identified as the J. B. Barrett product in the past, but recent scholarship has shown that they were actually made by N. T. Read and John T. Watson of Danville, VA.

The source of the nickel-plated bayonet is not known and does not quite fit this rifle correctly. Large initials “L .

EXTREMELY RARE PAIR OF MATCHING-NUMBERED COLLIER FLINTLOCK REVOLVING PISTOLS. SN 82. Cal. .48 smoothbore. 6-5/16” oct bbls with ribs.

Collier / 82 London.” There are rollers on both of the frizzens. The frizzens contain an automatically revolved powder rotor for priming the pans, worked by a spring-loaded lever operating on their left sides.

The bbl, frame, lockplate, coverplate & priming chamber cover at the rear of the cylinder are all finely engraved. The rear of the iron rib under the bbl is checkered. The engraved flashguard is removed by pulling straight down. It covers the mouths of the four chambers not lined up with the bbl. The rosewood ramrods have turned brass ends. There is an engraved solid silver hunter’s star on the left side. The second pistol is identical except for the ramrod, which is an almost exact copy.
