SPILLER & BURR CONFEDERATE REVOLVER.

SPILLER & BURR CONFEDERATE REVOLVER. SN 119. Cal. 36. Spiller & Burr of Macon, GA made brass framed copies of Whitney Revolvers which are quite popular today and complete orig examples are quite scarce. This gun appears mostly orig including well patinaed brass frame with orig “C.S.” stampings on right side of frame. Serial # 119 stamped on the triggerguard, buttstrap and inside the butt. Bbl and cyl are both heavily pitted and cleaned but appear orig. Grips and loading lever may be proper replacements. There were about 1200 Spiller & Burr revolvers made in Atlanta and Macon, GA during the Civil War making them the third largest Confederate primary revolver manufacturer. This gun with its restoration still presents very well. PROVENANCE: Accompanied by a copy of a letter from noted Confederate authority, Fred Edmunds, describing the attributes of the gun. CONDITION: Gun is good overall. Brass frame has braised repair where cracked just behind hammer on integral brass backstrap. SN 119 is found on frame under trigger guard, on right side of backstrap frame at base, and externally on buttstrap. A cryptic “O” is stamped on backstrap frame four times right and left on either side at base. As noted “C.S.” is stamped on right side of frame but a gash obscures part of the “S” as can be seen in photos. Bbl is heavily filed and cleaned, refinished and restored though a partial SN “11” can be seen on its 6-11/16″ oct bbl with restored brass pin sight. Cyl is also heavily pitted, refinished, and restored. Trigger guard is unserialized, is poorly fit, and is most likely originally from a Whitney revolver. The arbor appears orig to manufacturer though serialized 316, the remainder of loading arm is unserialized and is most likely a restoration. The stocks are well fit and in fine condition with correct Spiller & Burr profile but are probably fine restorations. 4-49692 JS219 (8,000-12,000)
