FINE CONFEDERATE GRISWOLD REVOLVER.

SN 3094. 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 strong traces of blue finish in protected areas. Much of the remaining finish on bbl and bbl housing has turned plum and much is remaining as can be seen in photos and a similar plum color is present on much of cyl’s surface. The safety pins are partially intact with two being totally smashed. Ratcheting on back of cyl is still crisp and the cryptic “C” on back of cyl is visible. This gun appears all-original and authentic in every regard including the screws. This gun has a pleasant mustard/yellow patina to the brass, and a nice dark brown surface to the metal surfaces. This gun is SN’d 3094 on left side of bbl housing, frame, and cylinder. Secondary number “4” found stamped on wedge, hammer, trigger guard and backstrap and penciled into channel of grips; but there is little doubt all parts are original. A cryptic “C” is found on bottom of bbl, back of frame, right side of trigger guard and back of cyl. Secondary number “5” is found on loading arm which no doubt appears original to this gun with nearly identical matching patina. A Roman numeral “I” is found on backstrap and trigger guard. This is an extremely fine Griswold revolver retaining much of its orig finish that no doubt rates it in the top 5% of all surviving Confederate handguns as to originality and finish. This gun is pictured on p. 234 of Norm’s book The Bowie Knife as a prop for knife. PROVENANCE: Listed in William Albaugh “The Brass Framed Colt & Whitney”, 1955. Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: This gun is overall very good to fine. Brass show old cleaning with a mottled surface. Bbl and cyl retain much of their orig finish though mostly turned plum. All parts appear original including screws. The cylinder shows distinct twist marks under its thin plum finish. The right ear of the hammer is missing where it has chipped off. Stocks are sound and well-fit with normally seen small dents and scratches. There is a small area of rust and pitting near front sight at muzzle which does not effect aesthetics. Gun is slightly loose between frame and bbl housing. 4-51128 JS6 (20,000-25,000) – Lot 2115a
