CONFEDERATE EARLY TRANSITIONAL LEMAT REVOLVER.

CONFEDERATE EARLY TRANSITIONAL LEMAT REVOLVER. Cal. 42/18 ga., SN492. This is a fine example of an early transitional LeMat with most all first model features other than that placement of the loading assembly. Most parts of this gun are serial numbered 492. One exception we see is the removable loading rod which is numbered 823. But based on the patina it appears to have been with this gun a very long time. This gun has an unusual 1/2 oct breech which measures 2-1/2″ turning into rnd bbl. The gun is pictured in Doug Adams’ most recent and the best book on LeMat’s entitled, “The Confederate LeMat Revolver“, recently published in 2005. This gun, from the collection of Fred and Nancy Edmunds, has a letter of authentication and provenance stating this gun descended in an Atlanta family and the Edmunds purchased the gun in 1976. CONDITION: Gun overall is gray with old cleaning. Markings are crisp, well struck and easily read. Original checkered stocks are very good with sharp edges with a few minor nicks and scratches. 4-40821 JS52 (18,000-25,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2010

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
