FINE STARR DA ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER. SN 279. Cal. 44. Blue finish with 6″ rnd bbl, dovetail half moon front sight and 1-pc walnut grip. Left side of frame has Starr’s patent information and right side has name & address. These revolvers were a favorite of the military during Civil War due to their ease of replacing the cylinder. A trooper could carry spare cylinders and very quickly replace it in revolver to rapidly continue firing. CONDITION: Extremely fine, probably unfired. Bbl retains about 95% glossy bright orig blue with some light flaking around muzzle and left side with a chemical spot on top. Top strap, bbl lug & frame retain virtually all of their glossy orig factory blue. Rammer, trigger & hammer retain about all of their strong orig case colors. Front & back straps are mostly gray from handling not use. Grip is sound with a minor chip in the edge and some battering on bottom and retains most of its orig oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-32091 JR313 (3,500-5,000)
