THE FINEST PAIR OF CONSECUTIVE NUMBERED, CONFEDERATE MANUFACTURED PISTOLS KNOWN, RIGDON & ANSLEY.

THE FINEST PAIR OF CONSECUTIVE NUMBERED, CONFEDERATE MANUFACTURED PISTOLS KNOWN, RIGDON & ANSLEY. SN 1774 & 1775. Cal. 36. Rarely are Confederate handguns found with orig blue finish. These two Augusta, GA made guns exhibit as much as 50% orig bright finish and traces of case color. Both guns are orig and authentic in every regard with fine inspection marks of Wescom Hudgins. Both guns are well fit, properly serial numbered on every part normally serial numbered. Several casting flaws, often present on Confederate manufactured arms, are visible in cyl and bbl housing of SN 1775. Only about 7,500 Confederate revolvers were made by all manufacturers and less than 1000 by Rigdon & Ansley. There are few consecutive pairs of any Confederate guns known. We sold a consecutive pair of Griswolds in NRA fair condition for $80,500 in our March 2004 auction, and these are vastly superior in condition and rarity. These guns, in excellent condition, are about as fine as any single gun that can be encountered in Confederate revolvers, much less this exceptional, high condition, consecutive pair. If you want to own the finest consecutive pair of Confederate handguns in existence, this will be your only chance to do so. CONDITION: Fine overall. All iron parts retain bright blue finish, some turning to black. Actions are crisp. Nipples show little wear. Brass parts show good patina. 4-31237 JS230 (150,000-175,000)
