CIVIL WAR Era Antique STARR ARMS M1858 Army .44 DA PERCUSSION Revolver
Early US Double Action Revolver
Description: CIVIL WAR Era Antique STARR ARMS M1858 Army .44 DA PERCUSSION Revolver Early US Double Action Revolver Here we present an antique Starr Arms Company Model 1858 Double Action Army Revolver, made circa 1861-62 in New York. Though not nearly as many of these were made as the Colt 1860s or Remington 1858s, the Starr represents probably the third-most issued revolver during the American Civil War. Requiring all manner of firearms during the Civil War, the U.S. government commissioned the Starr Arms Company to produce a Single Action version of its Double Action revolver. Both versions were eventually taken on by the North with at least 47,454 produced in all. This gun would have been used most widely by cavalrymen. It differed tremendously from the other revolvers in its class by being double actioned. The large, curved trigger cocked the hammer and revolved the cylinder, and, at the end of travel, tripped the trigger at the back of the trigger guard, firing the revolver. Ironically, despite being ahead of its time, the Starr Model 1858 Double Action Revolver was sidelined when the U.S. government asked for a revised single action version for the troops, which culminated in the Starr Model 1863 Single Action Revolver. Eben T. Starr, the inventor, was also responsible for the Starr Cavalry Carbine, which was also purchased by the Union during the war. The overall condition is good. Excellent action. Very good bore, bright with sharp rifling. There is a hint of an inspectors cartouche on the left side of the grip. Grips show use and remain solid. Numbers match. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 6 inches. Caliber: .44 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1900 #240079 SOLD Antique: Yes |
