FINE AND EARLY CONFEDERATE SPILLER & BURR REVOLVER.

SN 105. SN 105. Cal. 36. This is a fine example of a scarce brass-framed Confederate revolver made in Georgia during the Civil War. This gun conforms to the standard configuration of other Spiller revolvers and has a 6-7/8″ octagonal bbl. Spiller & Burr revolvers were a Confederate brass-framed copy of Whitney’s Navy Revolver. This gun shows Confederate Government probable acceptance with a large “CS” stamped on right side of frame. SN appears on the bottom of the bbl, cylinder pin, buttstrap, right side of frame beneath grip, again on frame under trigger guard, trigger guard, loading arbor, and in pencil inside right grip. There are traces of finish in protected areas on this gun. Cylinder and loading arm are not serial numbered, but both appear original. This gun is pictured in Col. Burton’s Spiller & Burr Revolver by Matthew Norman, 1996. This is a very fine example with good patina and a crisp “CS” that would make a great addition to the most discriminating collection. PROVENANCE: Col. Robert Howard prior to 1967, William Albaugh 1967, Bruce Kusrow, Ted Meredith 1977, Joseph A. Murphy Collection. CONDITION: This gun is overall in very good to fine condition and all matching. Gun has crisp edges and functions well. Bore is crisp with well discerned rifling though pitted near muzzle end. Stocks are fine and fit gun well with minor scrapes and scratches. There is a small chip to the inside toe of the left grip. Bbl and cylinder are overall brown with scattered areas of rust and pitting. Tiny traces of blue can be seen in protected areas of bbl. Loading arm has old cleaning on left side and is overall mottled with staining and pitting different than other metal parts of gun, though color is very close. Brass has a pleasing yellow-mustard color. 8-76398 JS (20,000-30,000) – Lot 1414
