CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED PAIR OF LEMAT REVOLVERS.

CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED PAIR OF LEMAT REVOLVERS. Cal. 42. Rarely found are consecutive pairs of martial arms, especially when you get two Confederate arms which are so scarce to start with. We are offering here maybe the only consecutive pair, SN 1108 and 1109, to have ever turned up. Both guns are in similar condition and will present nicely in any collection. Numerous texts talk of the Lemat revolvers. “Confederate Handguns” by William Albaugh and Ed Simmons denote their largest chapter on this particular manufacturer. Other texts have emerged over the years with the most definitive being written by Doug Adams. Even in the 1997 prize winning and top selling novel “Cold Mountain” by Charles Frazier, the hero, Inman, carries a pair of Lemat revolvers. Lemat revolvers were, indeed, prized by Confederate soldiers as they were 9-shot pistol with a 64 caliber shotgun cylinder in addition. Both guns here are well marked, as can be seen in photo. Bbl address are crisp as are SN that are found on all major component of guns. Checkered stock on guns are very good. Loading assemblies, which are so often missing from these guns, are both correct and intact. There is minor restoration to both guns, such as the frame latch on SN 1108, however all major SN parts are complete and intact. Both guns function with the action being a little sticky on SN 1108. SN 1109 is the better of the two guns and exhibits some finish in protected areas, though the right ear of the hammer face is chipped off. You are bidding on probably the only consecutively pair of Lemats to be offered. CONDITION: As noted above. 4-37488 JS42 (30,000-40,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2009

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.
