CONFEDERATE SPILLER & BURR REVOLVER. SN 855. Cal 36. This good looking “CS” marked brass framed Confederate revolver made in Macon, Georgia is pictured on page 89 of Matt Norman’s book “Colonel Burton’s Spiller & Burr Revolver, An Untimely Venture in Confederate Small Arms Manufacturing”. This example conforms to other examples of this scarce Confederate arm with a large “CS” stamped on right side of frame. This “CS” mark is thought to represent Confederate Government acceptance.
