Weapon’s serial number 834 appears on the front face of the cylinder, the frame flat below the cylinder, under the barrel and on the inside bow of the triggerguard. It is generally accepted that Kerr revolvers up to10500 were Confederate carried as virtually all were purchased by the South. Known samples up to SN 9974 from the VA Cavalry " Pratt list are documented. This one does not have a JS Anchor. Original Grips are in excellent shape. Made by the British weapons facility known as the London Armoury Company based in London, England. This company exported these sturdy, five-shot revolvers to the Confederacy in large numbers during the war. Considered a secondary issue sidearm in the South, the cap and ball percussion revolver was also privately purchased by many Confederate officers for personal use. Weapon features the most popular 54 bore size (.45 caliber) with a five-shot cylinder matched to a 5½” octagonal barrel. Sidearm measures 11” long, weighs 30 oz. and displays a one-piece English walnut grip that features profuse factory checkering. Butt strap is secured by two screws and has a lanyard swivel ring attached. An external side spring located on the left side of the frame behind the recoil shield allows for the cylinder to be removed. With the side spring held back, the matching long cylinder pin is removed and the cylinder drops down and out. Loading lever is thick and flat with a rounded, knurled grip that secures to the bottom of the barrel.
