RARE CONFEDERATE IDENTIFIED PLANT FRONT-LOADING ARMY REVOLVER.

RARE CONFEDERATE IDENTIFIED PLANT FRONT-LOADING ARMY REVOLVER. SN 2062. Cal. 42 cup fire. Unusual design to circumvent Smith & Wesson’s bored-through cylinder patent. It has 6″ keyhole shaped oct bbl with German silver front sight and usual bbl markings. It has third type flat side brass frame with squared front edge, spur trigger and 2-pc walnut grips. Inside of right grip is hand scratched “R AMES / 1ST REG 5TH GA”. Identified Confederate firearms are a great rarity and, obviously, should be thoroughly researched. CONDITION: Very good plus. Bbl & cylinder retain a smooth gray patina with some light file marks on cylinder in one small area. Frame has lightly rounded edges with minor nicks and retains a medium mustard patina. Grips are sound with a couple of chips and an internal pressure crack and retain most of an old added finish. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with light pitting. 4-32186 JR394 (2,500-3,000)
