RARE CONFEDERATE AUGUSTA MACHINE WORKS TWELVE-STOP REVOLVER.

RARE CONFEDERATE AUGUSTA MACHINE WORKS TWELVE-STOP REVOLVER. SN R. Cal. 36. 7-15/16″ octagonal bbl. Serial number “R” occurs on most major parts. Gun appears to 100% original and authentic in every regard with sharp edges. This is a very rare Confederate revolver with probably no more than 10 examples known of this variety. This is a beautiful example carried in the Civil War by Turner Fisher who fought in the Civil War under the command of the famous cavalry General, John Hunt Morgan. An affidavit from original owner states provenance. This revolver was originally the possession of Turner M. Fisher as well as carried by his brother, James E. Fisher, from Ruddels Mill, Bourbon County, Paris, Kentucky. Turner Fisher volunteered and served in the Confederate Army under the command of John Hunt Morgan. It is stated in the affidavit, “After Morgan’s men were captured and taken prisoner, he barely escaped…he later served with an infantry unit in the Atlanta Campaign and specifically recalled the great hardships and near starvation he endured on the two month long trek home at war’s end.” Action is crisp and tight. When Bill Albaugh published his book in 1963, “Confederate Handguns”, he was only able to list three known 12-stop Augusta revolvers. Bill Gary in “Confederate Revolvers” published in 1987, was only able to list five serial numbers. This is a fine example of one of the rarest Confederate revolvers, once in the collections of well known collectors Norm Flayderman and Steve Mullinax. This gun is accompanied by original Confederate holster and an odd cleaning tool which descended with gun. CONDITION: Gun is gray/brown overall with scattered dings, gouges, scratches and pitting. Brass triggerguard and backstrap exhibit patina but clean where handled. Distinctive bulged Augusta stocks retain much of their original varnish. Holster, as seen in photographs, is dry and deteriorated where originally hung with pistol. Parts of flap and muzzle area are dried, cracked and missing. 8-76242 JS28 (40,000-60,000)
