Description:
Exceedingly Scarce Joslyn Army Revolver in near fine condition: This is the Standard cavalry model produced by the Joslyn Firearms Company in Stonington, Connecticut.
These were manufactured early in the war, circa 1861-1862, with about half produced under US government contract, and the balance state purchased. It is known that Ohio armed the 5th Ohio Cavalry with these elusive sidearms...
This is a 44 Cal. 5 shot revolver with an 8 inch octagonal barrel. This example is in near fine condition with generous traces of original blue finish remaining in protected areas and on the barrel. The grips retain their factory checkering in good detail.
The top of the barrel is stamped "B.F. JOSLYN / PATD MAY 4TH 1858" and the loading lever, butt, and barrel bear serial numbers 903... This is an extremely scarce gun.
Many collectors wait years to find one, and they seldom find one this nice at a realistic price $4,450.
