#3860 Starr 1863 S/A 44cal percussion and having a crisp action and G-VG bore
Description: #3860 Starr 1863 S/A 44cal percussion and having a crisp action and G-VG bore with no serious blemishes that would be bad enough to alter the bullets path, just the average black powder pitting and lead build-up. Some original blue mixed in with a plum colored patina and then ranging down to brown. No pitting of consequence and crisp edges showing very little wear. Good grips with bumps and bruises and average wear; no cartouches remain on either side. As is quite common with these S/A Starrs, this one does have a mismatched cylinder, and for some odd reason, this seems much more prevalent in Starrs than in any other CW revolver. Of course, the reason that MOST revolvers made during the Civil War having mismatched cylinders was due to the habit of cleaning handguns by boiling the powder residue out of the cylinders in coffee pots or other cookware after the evening meal. On re-assembly no care was given to make sure the parts were to the correct numbered gun. But in the case of the Starr revolvers, it is more likely that this was when they were sold off as surplus and partially disassembled, as there just seems to be so many that are mismatched. If not for the mismatched cylinder, this gun would be VG++. $1595 SOLD Antique: Yes |
