INSCRIBED EARLY CIVIL SAVAGE NAVY REVOLVER 41ST NEW YORK.

SN 955. This is a nice example of a popular Civil War revolver of unique design. About 20,000 of these guns were made during the Civil War, most being made under federal contract. This particular example is a scarce, private purchase with inscription on backstrap and buttstrap “W. v. STULPNAGEL Lt. Co. B, Regt de KALB”/ This gun is in very good “as found” condition. A quick search for biography on Lt. Stulpnagel does not find him, however the unit is quite well known. The 41st NY, known as the De Kalb regiment, was organized in New York city and was composed of German soldiers, mainly veterans of the war between Prussia and Denmark, 1848-51. It was mustered into the U. S. service at New York June 6-9, 1861, for three years, and left the state for Washington July 8, containing besides the New York companies, one company from Philadelphia and one from Newark, N. J. Unit was commanded by Col., Leopold Von Gilsa; Lieut.-Cols., Emil Duysing, Ernst Von Holmstedt, Dettler Von Einsiedel; Majs., Ernst Von Holmstedt, Dettler Von Einsiedel, Frederick Menshausen. In the consolidation under Gen. Pope in Aug., 1862, the brigade became the 1st brigade, 1st division, 1st corps, with which the 41st was engaged at Strasburg and Cross Keys meeting with its first considerable loss. It was active at Rappahannock Station, Sulphur Springs, Waterloo Bridge, Groveton and second Bull Run, losing in the last named 103 killed, wounded and missing.It was then assigned to the 1st brigade, 1st division, 11th corps; was held in reserve during the battle of Fredericksburg; encamped at Falmouth for the winter and participated in the Chancellorsville campaign in May, 1863. Gettysburg was the next battle in which the command was engaged, with the loss of 75 killed, wounded and missing. This is a nice, honest example of a popular early war manufactured revolver with great inscription to a New York City regiment that saw service throughout the Civil War and at Gettysburg. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Good to very good overall “as found”, unclaimed dark patina being dark brown/gray overall with staining and pitting. Markings are sharp including makers mark and inscription. Stocks are sound, well fit with scattered small dings, dents and scratches. Mechanically gun cocks but will not hold and cyl only turns occasionally. Bore shows discernible rifling though pitted. 4-54445 JS27 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 1348
